AI - A look under the bonnet

  • 14 Jul 2025
  • 8.00 pm - 9.00 pm

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a concept reserved for science fiction or tech giants—it's a reality that is reshaping the business landscape at an unprecedented pace. Whether viewed as a catalyst for innovation or a source of uncertainty, one thing is undeniable: AI is here to stay, and it is impacting industries across the board.

Woking Lib Dem member, Stephen Wilder, will peel back the layers of AI without the technical jargon. Stephen is a seasoned IT consultant who has worked with clients such as Microsoft, NATO, Harrods, Bentley

Motors, the MCC and the United Nations, will demystify AI, offering clear insights and lots of hands-on examples of what AI truly is, what it can achieve, and importantly, what it cannot.

Summer Celebration Raffle, Chesham and Amersham Liberal Democrats

  • 01 Jul 2025
  • 6.00 pm - 11.59 pm

It's July and we are still celebrating the fantastic results from the May Local Elections, not just in Chesham and Amersham, but right across Buckinghamshire! We won a clean sweep on both Chesham and Amersham Town Councils and took 11 seats in our constituency on the Unitary Council.  The Conservatives lost overall control of Buckinghamshire Unitary Council in May and are now having to listen to the views of other Parties! 

Now we are moving forward to  support our wonderful new Councilors and our brilliant MP, Sarah Green, by buying a Risograph. This super printing machine is going to help us become more effective, enabling us to send out very localised leaflets. It will save us money and cut paper waste. And it will help us keep in touch with local residents and also help us win more elections across Bucks in the future. 

So please buy your raffle tickets and support our fundraising efforts, so that we can continue to build our winning team.  

Your ticket could win our wonderful basket of summer time goodies, worth over £100 in total!. It includes champagne, chocolates, wine glasses, stone ice cubes (!) and so many other exciting prizes!

of you have worked to keep your businesses running and your teams supported

through it all.

 

This forum is an opportunity for members of the local

business community to come together to discuss these issues, share experiences,

and look ahead. I’ll be joined by a panel of local experts from the world of

business and local government, who will help lead the conversation and respond
