		<description>Sorry you think that, Gav. I&#039;m firmly of the belief that this trip is beneficial to the town, I wouldn&#039;t be going if I didn&#039;t think that.

It&#039;s easy to dismiss it as a &quot;free drinking session&quot; but that&#039;s quite simply not what happens. The trip does involve attending numerous meetings and functions with a variety of groups, but none of them could in any way be considering a drinking session, particularly when we&#039;re out there to represent the people of the town and the county.

If you have any specific questions, issues or comments, I&#039;m more than willing to address them here publicly.</description>
