Forest shortlisted for public affairs award

Quick bit of news I didn't have time to mention last week.
Forest has been shortlisted for Party Conference Reception of the Year by the organisers of the annual Public Affairs Awards.
And look at the company we're keeping.
There are 18 categories and the list, announced on Thursday, includes Cancer Research UK, Royal Mail, Royal British Legion, Crisis, Save The Children, Transport for London and HMRC.
Shortlisted entries in the Party Conference Reception category include the Government of Bermuda, the Enterprise Forum and Pimlico Plumbers.
Hosted by Sky News' presenter Kay Burley, the awards will be presented in London on December 8.
If, in 2016, a smoker-friendly event called 'Eat, Drink, Smoke, Vape' wins it will be a small miracle but we live in hope.
I'll keep you posted.

Until ..... cruk writes to the organisers telling them forest is a big bad eviiiiil tobacco stooge and "decent" organisations should have nothing to do with it by order of the fctc.
I hope not, of course. I would say you should win. Good organisation, great message put across in a fun way. The puritans and lobbyists at cruk are probably choking on their museli breakfast.
