Aitken Dinner Goes Down a Storm


Former Conservative Minister, Johnathan Aitken was the guest speaker at the Conservative Supper Club last Wednesday. Speaking at one of Southampton's oldest pubs, the Duke of Wellington in Bugle Street, Johnathan spoke about his new book "Heroes and Contemporaries".

There was a lively question and answer session afterwards, with subjects ranging from prison reform to the problems in Lebanon.

It was when the topic of conversation turned to religion that the most incredible thunderstorm erupted. Despite the flashing lightning and driving rain in the background it proved to a fantastic evening.

Glad you enjoyed it Jeremy - I thought it a huge success.
Sir Rex Hunt, Andrew Roberts, Iain Dale, Jonathan Aitkien and David Willetts have all been recent visitors to Southampton. The next event is planned for October- members of the public are welcome to attend.
Best wishes,
Matt
