About Me

Andrew Reeves: Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom; 42 year old Liberal Democrat non-runner who has decided to start going to the gym (again). Lives in Newhaven, Edinburgh with his partner and their two cats Loco and Tazzer. I am Deputy Director of Campaigns for the Liberal Democrats responsible for Scotland, been a party member since 1997, activist for years and worked for the party since 2000. I love watching sport, too old to compete and the best sport ever is ice hockey - I support the Edinburgh Capitals, based at Murrayfield.
