Sir.-The General Election hustings meeting at QMC is for everyone in the town.

This is the only hustings meeting to be held in Basingstoke for everyone, and it will be on Friday, April 29, from 7.45pm to 10pm, at Queen Mary's College, Cliddesden Road, Basingstoke.

You are all invited.

We have invited the candidates of the following parties to be at the meeting - Conservative, Green, Labour, Liberal Democrat and UKIP.

Each will be given a two-minute slot. After all five speeches, the chair will take questions.

We would prefer questions to be submitted beforehand, either by e-mail to basingstokehustings@yahoo.co.uk or by post to Rev Trevor Woodget, Basingstoke Baptist Church, Gershwin Road, Basingstoke, RG22 4HQ.

Additionally, we will accept questions at the door, but it will be difficult to sort them into categories for the chair.

There will be opportunities for follow-up questions from the floor, but preferably by people other than the questioner.

There are no charges for attendance at the meeting.

This event is being run jointly by the Alliance of Basingstoke Churches and Queen Mary's College.

We look forward to seeing many Basingstoke residents next Friday.

-Terry Ayres, Alliance of Basingstoke Churches, Cliddesden Road, Basingstoke.
