Kelly Smith – East Midlands Regional chairman – writes: I am delighted to announce the East Midlands Conference at Leicester City Football Club on Saturday 19th November 2016.
This event is free for East Midlands members, thanks to the support of the European Conservative and Reformists Group (ECR), Emma McClarkin MEP, Andrew Lewer MBE MEP and the Regional voluntary party team.
It will come as no surprise that the conference will focus on Brexit and the opportunities that this presents for the East Midlands Region. We will have the opportunity to hear from our Party Chairman Rt. Hon. Sir Patrick McLoughlin MP, influential MPs and MEPs and the Chairman of Conservative National Convention (Rob Semple OBE) on a range of topical subjects that I'm sure will both entertain and inform. A full agenda is listed below.
There will be free refreshments and lunch and plenty of opportunities to catch up with colleagues and meet with our speakers.
Free onsite car parking and close to public transport – visit www.lcfcevents.co.uk/contact.html for more information.
Free registration – places are limited and offered on a first-come-first-served basis, so please do register by e-mailing [email protected] with your name and address plus stating that you are a Party to secure your place.
