Our monthly coffee event for October, this time an EU Special! Join us for a coffee and a chat about the EU and our place in Europe!

Tickets: 

• £5 per adult
• Free entry for U-16s

Entry and all refreshments are included in the price of your ticket (pay on the day).

This event is free, though we are encouraging those who can to donate £10. Please book, so that we know how many people are coming: this means clicking to "buy tickets" on this page, and then to "check out" on the page this goes to.

David Howarth is Professor of Law and Public Policy at Cambridge, Fellow of Clare College, former Liberal Democrat MP and Shadow Justice Secretary, former UK Electoral Commissioner, and erstwhile long time member of the Liberal Democrat Federal Policy Committee.

His new book, Being Liberal is about the instincts of British Liberals – about what those instincts are, and why they still matter. It argues that a Liberal disposition in politics consists of seven traits: openness, hating the abuse of power, being non-judgmental, treating people as individuals not as members of categories or classifications, disliking bombast and hierarchy, trying to be cool and rational, and looking for compromise and moderation. It builds its case not from theories of liberalism but from the lives, writing and experiences of real Liberal people, including Liberal and Liberal Democrat party leaders and prominent supporters, many of whom the author has known and worked with, including all the party leaders of the past 50 years. It acknowledges that Liberals have characteristic weaknesses as well as strengths but argues that anti-liberalism, now fashionable and even intellectually dominant, not only misunderstands Liberals but also poses dangers that only Liberals and Liberalism can counteract.

Update, 21 October: a couple of people have tried to book and received a "Server 500" error. If this happens to you, please come anyway: we're using the bookings system to have an idea of numbers and will put out some extra seats.

Anyone who has enjoyed some of Judy's Caribbean cooking at other Lambeth Lib Dem events (or anywhere else) will love this occasion. There will be a number of drinks available including Judy's selection of rums.
We welcome anyone who is interested in what the Liberal Democrats are all about, and loves Caribbean culture.

The value of this occasion will be its entertainment combined with Judy’s commitment to provide an excellent meal. £100 per person compares well with what might be charged by a restaurant.

The venue is at a private house near Dunraven School, SW16. The exact address will be provided to all who sign up.

Canvass

Our Annual General Meeting, followed by a chance to catch up after a big year for Kensington and Chelsea Liberal Democrats.

Guest speaker: Sarah Olney MP.

We will look back at the year, including May's council results and our three new councillors in Earl's Court, and set out plans for the year ahead. Elections to the executive take place at the AGM, so if you have thought about taking a role in the local party, this is the evening to stand, nominate, or simply come and vote.

The evening is open to Kensington and Chelsea Lib Dem members only, as space at the venue is limited. 

Join us to shape the future of the borough, and back the local party that works for it.

Free. Please RSVP.

An informal get together for Liberal Democrat supporters and members in and around the  rural area in the south of Herefordshire.
