Over fifty members and supporters gathered in Bradford on Saturday 3rd December for a really enjoyable Yule social. Members came from Bradford, Leeds, Rotherham, Lancashire, Wakefield, North Yorks, Brighton, Eastbourne, London to name but a few. A strong BPP Bradford contingent set up the room and supplied the very very extensive buffet. The room was really well laid out with literature stalls from the BPP and Heritage and Destiny. After the buffet, BPP National Organiser, Eddy Morrison held a General Knowledge Quiz with all supporters forming into teams. The winners were "The Rotherham Revisionists". A very close second - by half a point - were the "Leeds Pals". Competition as usual was fierce but fun!

Mark Cotterill, Editor of Heritage and Destiny then carried out a lively auction which raised nearly £200 and then a raffle with great prizes plus sales of the latest issue of "Vanguard" and "Imperium" (latest December Vanguard just delivered from the printers) further added to the total.. A healthy injection into party funds. A member who could not attend sent in enough to pay for the buffet instead. It was a great family occasion with music (plenty of it Loyalist  and British traditional) and the atmosphere was relaxed and positive. Five new members were signed up and a lot of other literature including many bundles of stickers taken away for those attending to pass on the BPP message of "White Hope".
Thanks to the pub hosts who even joined in the auction and said the BPP would be welcome back anytime. The landlady quite rightly won a raffle prize - no fix honest!

There will be a Heritage and Destiny Social in Blackburn on the 18th December and the BPP will have a prominent role in that. To date the party has just had three major activities within four weeks.
