With local government elections coming up on 2 May 2019 [Ed – they may not be the only elections next year!] a lot of political parties shifted their conferences over the last year from autumn into spring to align with the final period of campaigning. So the schedule of autumn 2018 conferences is fairly sparse.
If you have any information on the dates, times and locations of the missing conferences, please get in touch by email to alaninbelfast AT gmail DOT com and I’ll keep the post up to date.
I’ll also update this post with links to Slugger’s conference coverage after each event.
