New Members Meet & Greet

If you became a new member over the past year, join us for a special spring reception with food and drinks.

This event will provide new members with an opportunity to meet other like-minded individuals, and get to know our team here at the Cities of London & Westminster Conservatives. We're delighted to be joined by our local Member of Parliament, Nicki Aiken MP, and our GLA Member (for West Central) Cllr Tony Devenish. All CLWCA staff will also be in attendance, so that new members can put faces to names. Guests can chat with individual team members to learn what they do. It will provide them with an opportunity to engage with the work of the Association and understand how everyone fits in.

All new members who joined since May 2022 are invited, and admission will be free of charge, although we encourage guests to donate £10 (or more) to cover the cost of refreshments.

Guests will be treated to freshly cooked barbecue food and pims. So please do join us for what promises to be a fun evening in an informal setting.

Standard tickets: FREE of Charge. Donations encouraged.

Guests must have membership of the CLWCA to attend this event - want to attend this event? become a member to join us!
