Images from the 2006 Bournemouth Conference

This was my view of the huge queue of people waiting to get their passes. Only most of them didn't get them for many hours. This was taken mid afternoon on Monday.

And here is an example of the resourcefulness and altruism which are the hallmarks of Conservatism!

People making the most of the "down time" made available to us through the slow issuing of passes.

I got got bored and wandered around Bournemouth looking for interesting things to photograph. This was the best that I could come up with.

Inside at last. This is the view from the "bloggers' corner".


And here are the bloggers in that corner. Sam Cotes (Dept. Ed of ConservativeHome) is standing up, Tim Montgomerie (Ed of ConservativeHome) smiling widely, Iain Dale looking sagely at his laptop and Greg Hands MP hiding behind the literature. Guido was off somewhere up to no good.



Great to see that the childish "amendments" are still popular. This is a cardboard cut out by the way, in case you were wondering.




Here are two great friends from SE London. Rebbecca Stevens on the left and Karen Allen on the right, taken at about two in the morning. How do they both manage to look so sharp when everyone else (me included) looked like a dog's dinner?



The media packing up and going home. As was I.
