A local Party in Yorkshire is offering a second hand Riso printer to any Liberal Democrat group who could use it.
The machine is a GR3750 model, it is in need of minor repair, but is repairable (apparently Midshire's will repair for £108.50 plus VAT).
On offer to any local party who needs it on a "first come" basis. You need to be able to collect it from Scarborough.
Please contact Mark Alock

The Department has announced new fees for Marked Registers, which take effect from this summer. They are set out in the draft Representation of the People (Amendment) Regulations 2008 which have been laid before Parliament and were debated and approved in both the House of Lords and House of Commons on Wednesday, 2nd July 2008.
The new fee structure is as follows:
There is a single administration fee of £10 for each request for a copy of the marked electoral register and other lists made to the relevant registration officer or sheriff clerk. Please note that this fee is charged per request whether the information sought is for the whole marked register or part of the marked register, and whether the request is for a copy in paper form or data form, or a combination of both forms. However, if the whole or part of the marked registers or lists is requested in both printed and data form, this should be treated as two separate requests and so a further administration fee should be charged.
In addition, there will be a charge for the volume of information requested calculated at:
£2 for each 1,000 entries (or remaining part of 1,000 entries) in printed format, and
£1 for each 1,000 electors (or remaining part of 1,000 entries), in data form.
The new fees will apply for marked registers produced at Westminster Parliamentary elections in England, Wales and Scotland, and local government elections in England and Wales (including elections for the London Mayor and Assembly); and to the supply of marked registers and lists produced at an election to the National Assembly for Wales.
The new fees will apply to requests made after the Regulations come into force. This will include copies of marked registers arising from the elections on 1 May 2008. The new fees will not apply to requests made prior to the Regulations coming into force and, for example, there is no provision for refunds to be made in respect of requests made prior to the Regulations coming into force.
The new fee structure will mean that for a request, for example, for a polling station marked register containing 8,000 entries in printed format, and the marked list of postal voters containing 2,000 entries in data format, the fee will be:
£10 administration fee, plus
£2 x 8 = £16, plus
£1 x 2 = £2
Total = £28.

On Wednesday 27th August the LGA Liberal Democrat Group are organising a LGA specialist Conference Seminar on Culture, Tourism and Sport for Liberal Democrat councillors.
This is the best place for all those who are involved to discuss key tourism and culture issues in the Olympic year - controversial and powerful these topics will get a real airing amongst fellow elected Liberal Democrats. This looks to be one of the best conference available this year - this email is to urge you to book yourself in.
The conference is in the World Heritage City of Bath that will enable us to discuss relevent topics with on hand illustrations, learn lessons where appropriate and also include the local MP and Liberal Democrat front-bench spokesperson Don Foster MP. Topics to be covered will be as varied as licensing, libraries, use of culture and history within a community, sport and leisure as well as the wider national debates on funding. This will be a real chance to influence the national perspective and discuss this with the front bench team in parliament as well as your national team in local government Cllrs Chris White, Paul Massey, Alan Gloak and Paul Crossley.
There will be an overnight option on Tuesday 26th August and we will have an appropriate function that evening to welcome delegates, so please do indicate when you book if you would like details of the hotel arrangements. It is expected that the hotel will be approximately £80. Confirmation will be available this week.
This is an LGA activity and our experience of the last three years is that local authorities have been able to support councillors registration (£25), travel and hotel costs. If you encounter any difficulty on this please do contact this office.
Registrations should be booked via email to Evelyn Mark on evelyn.mark@lga.gov.uk and we will then email back an invoice. Please do BOOK TODAY.
