And so someone talked Rhodri into putting his name forward. There were meetings, discussions, flyers sent round, twitter accounts tweeting, facebook accounts fluttering, and then yesterday was the election. 12 candidates were running, and 9 were selected including our own Rhodri Lewis and also our friends Emma and Mac.
We will see what happens next!
