I think I'm lucky I've not been sucked into more, given we are a reasonably large and active branch, but a number of your experiences last night ring all too true with me. And I've heard others have had the 'stand for the council' experience. I gather I'm unusual in having expressed some interest first. I'm not sure there is any way of getting experience before becoming a councillor, but if you're a Lib-Dem, council Lib-Dem groups typically tend to be very supportive of their own, so you won't be left floundering. There will always be people to help and guide you. You think I'd seriously consider it if there wasn't?
