As part of our regular session of insightful conversation, Lord Dominic Johnson, Conservative party Chairman, came to Sonning's Pearson Hall to talk to us and answer questions. It was a very enjoyable evening, and we also celebrated the belated New Year with a delicious lemon drizzle cake. It was good to see Dominic, who is an old friend and used to live locally. He gave us an overview of what he had found after only 8 weeks in the job and outlined what he would be doing in terms of CCHQ support and policy formulation.
