Nervous - Good!!

Hello everyone,
I want to start this post by thanking, and congratulating the UKYP Staff who have worked so hard to get us debating in the House of Commons.

Kate Parish has done a fantastic job in keeping us updated, sending out very important information and generally preparing us for making history. The attachment you all got entitled ''everything you need to know'' sums up the work Kate has done. She has made us comfortable, at ease and rather excited about the upcoming event.

Fiona Mckinstrie with her knowledge, contacts and determination has got us media coverage, from local, to regional, to national. From radio, to newspapers, to the television news. She's equipped us with some invaluable skills about how to speak to journalists and has given us model press releases to send out. Overall, with her help, we have ensured, and will continue to ensure that our biggest day is as widely known about as possible.

With all this work however, I'm sure everyone is feeling nervous about it. Let me tell you, we're all in the same boat. Cameras pointing in every direction, microphones aimed around the chamber, written records, almost live broadcasts. However, I have faith that all MYPs will use this nervous energy and translate it into the biggest hit on a national level anyone has ever seen from young people.

It's an exciting moment, and one we will use to spread the message of the five top issues to be discussed, voted for by young people - Nationally!! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing a platform with some very passionate and involved young people from every region and from the nations.

Look forward to seeing you Friday

Harry
