On Tuesday 2nd December, Nottingham University Politics Society hosted its own ‘Question Time’ style evening. The presidents of every political society on campus comprised the panel: The Politics Society, Conservative Future, Labour Students and Young Greens. The addition of a chairman ensured a flowing debate.
Much amusement was caused by the absence of the Liberal Democrats [...]

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At 3pm on the 25th November, less than 24 hours after Darling’s pre-budget report, seven members of the Nottingham University Conservative Association took their seats in the front rows of a conference room in Nottingham, ready to listen to Alan Duncan’s speech to business leaders from across the region.
The speech was frank and honest, from [...]

 
 
Today NUCA took part in the ‘Big Delivery Weekend’, delivering leaflets on behalf of Rowena Holland, PPC for Nottingham South.
We delivered 4 walks over the course of the day, which equates to around 400 houses- a good effort on a cold wintery day!
We were delivering in Clifton- an area about 15 minutes outside of Nottingham. [...]

On Friday 7th November, the Nottingham University Conservative Association hosted the ‘Student Life: Conservative Coalition Tour’. This was the third stop on its nationwide tour, and with successful visits previously to UEA CF and Exeter CF, there was much to look forward to.
The panel consisted of: Simon Richards from the Freedom Association, Tim Aker from [...]

 On Thursday 30th  October, controversial conservative writer Douglas Murray spoke to the Secular Society at the University of Nottingham.
As a big admirer of Douglas Murray, I went along to his talk. Although I shall not venture into the ‘ins and outs’ of Murray’s speech, I shall say this: I believe that Douglas Murray says what [...]

On the afternoon of Wednesday 29th October, a group of twelve members of the Nottingham University Conservative Association attended a ‘Campaign Skills Training Workshop’ run by the organisation for training young conservative activists, the Young Britons’ Foundation. This was the first step on their Universities tour, and after a very successful conference at Wellington College [...]

YBF5 – Activist Training Conference 2008, Wellington College, Berkshire
Last weekend NUCA descended on Wellington College, Berkshire for the 5th Young Britons’ Foundation Activist Training Conference.
Nationally recognised as one of the leading Conservative Future branches, Nottingham University Conservative Association can be particularly proud to have provided by far the largest delegation to the conference; with [...]

 
 
 
 
“…Together in the hope, the belief that better times will lie ahead.”
And so the Conservative Party Conference came to its end for another year- and what a way to finish. Cameron’s speech was a far cry from the “sunshine” speech of previous years- measured and serious, Cameron really lay down his credentials as a Prime-Minister [...]

 
Well it’s been an interesting first day at Conference. The day started off with some very useful Young Briton’s Foundation media training for Nick and me (YBF are visiting Nottingham in October so all NUCA members will have a chance to participate in this). Lunch with the Salisbury Club soon followed to raise money for [...]

 
 
 
Freshers’ Fayre is over for another year then. We did really well and had well over 100 people joining up as either Members or Friends of the Party.
 
We were very fortunate to have visits from Rowena Holland PPC for Nottingham South, John Hayes MP and Bruce Laughton PPC for Sherwood, over the three days and [...]
