Come and enjoy a fun 80s themed evening, with an 80s menu, and quizzes based on some of the Iron Lady’s most memorable moments. A fun talk from historian Gareth Streeter, commemorating 50 years since Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative party in 1975.
We are expecting this three course commemorative supper to be a sell out event and numbers - including Young Conservatives’ tickets - are strictly limited. First come first served.
Optional commemorative mug made for the occasion. Chance to help a Young Conservative attend (strictly limited tickets) and a splendid venue with easy on-site parking, just off the end of the M5. (venue to be confirmed upon purchase of ticket).
In these tough times, come together with like-minded people, to remind ourselves of what conservatism is all about, at our big winter dinner fundraiser.
