The theme for the second meeting will be What the EU can do, the role of an MEP. It will be held at the Worthing Sixth Form Collage, Bolsover Road Worthing. (North side of Durrington railway bridge) Friday 22^nd October, 10am. This is NOT a public meeting. 

Lucie Colkett chair of the Worthing Green Party said:  "Worthing is most fortunate to be one of the first places in the UK to be visited by a member of the new European Parliament".

 "At the EU elections earlier this year, the electors showed breath-taking apathy. We now have an ideal opportunity to meet face to face, with one of our elected representatives in a Parliament which will influence our lives more and more whether we like it or not".

Continuing Lucie Colkett insisted:  "Caroline is very approachable and is carrying out the pledge she made during her election campaign to represent all her constituents. She will be very pleased to meet anyone and discuss their fears and aspirations of our membership of the European Community at the Thursday evening meeting".
