Conservative Policy Forum ( CPF ) usually meets on the first Wednesday of each month and offers the opportunity to discuss areas of local and national policy. The thoughts of RECA members are sent back to CCHQ and the feedback of members from all round the country is collated and presented to Ministers. From full information about CPF see http://www.conservativepolicyforum.com/
