Ashford Lib Dems make a Splash raising over £350 for WaterAid

Published on Sat 9th Oct 2004

Over 70 Liberal Democrat members attended the Ashford Constituency Dinner on Saturday 9th October at the Holiday Inn, Kennington.

The after-dinner speakers were Chris Huhne, the recently re-elected Member of the European Parliament for South-East England, and Chris Took, the Parliamentary Spokesperson for Ashford Lib Dems.

They were photographed together publicising Chris Took's participation in the Ashford Quest International 10K Run from the Julie Rose Stadium on Sunday 10th October.

Chris ran in aid of WaterAid which is the UK 's only major charity dedicated to the provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene education to the world's poorest people. The £350 raised at the dinner is enough for a school sanitation block for 150 children in Tanzania.

"I'm delighted members have been so generous for such a worthy cause" commented Chris Took. "I like to think we can all do our own little bit to make the world a better place."
