My first year at Conference

"This was my first year on the Conservative Friends of Poland stand, and it was really interesting to hear people’s views on Poland and the future of the country. The feedback from people was also very positive. 

It was also good to hear from a wide range of different people: from business leaders, Members of Parliament and party members who wanted to know more about Poland. I found the Conservative Friends of Poland is also now starting to be known around the UK. Several visitors wanted to find out about the work of the Conservative Friends of Poland, and their engagement with the Polish communities in their local areas. 

For me personally, it was good to talk to people about the history between Poland and Britain (as my grandfather was Polish and came over during the Second World War). As someone who is very interested in international affairs, it was good to talk about the Polish elections which have just been held. It was encouraging to see the Conservative Friends of Poland playing an important role within the Conservative Party and in the Polish community. 

I felt that the conference was an excellent place to promote many of their ideas."
