April 28th, 2010
CUCA were very pleased to host an evening with Sir John Major on Monday. Sir John talked about his time as Prime Minister, his analysis of the way the general election campaign is going, explained how Labour had squandered the golden economic legacy they had inherited and ’97 and then rounded off with a very droll anecdote about cricket (of course).
Our thanks goes to the President and Officers of the Cambridge Union Society for their help and support.
A recording of the event can be found here.

Welcome back!
We have a very important speaker coming on the 26th - check last week’s email for more details.
Also, on the 25th April (Sunday) we will be hosting the first PORT AND CHEESE of term:
Green Room, Caius, 8pm, Black Tie, £6/£8 – cheques to J M Oxley at Caius.
If you’re new to the format of Port and Cheese, it is the best opportunity you’ll get to meet lots of like minded people and set the world to rights over copious quantities of port and plenty of cheese.

Rt Hon Michael Howard, QC, MP
~PRESIDENT of CUCA
~Leader of the Conservative Party, 2003-05
~Home Secretary, 1993-1997
~Secretary of State for the Environment, 1992-1993
~Secretary of State for Employment, 1990-1992
~Member of Parliament for Folkestone and Hythe, 1983-2010
~Alumnus of Peterhouse
~Union President, Easter 1962
~Principal Operator in “The Cambridge Mafia”
…is coming to visit CUCA to address us once more. His Party leadership, electoral gains, and record of speeches in the House (and Union Chamber) speak to the great experience, insight and political ability that he will be bringing to his old haunt.
As Mr Howard is not seeking re-election, we expect him to divulge some exceedingly good tales of his time at Cambridge; his opinion of the new generation of Conservatives; and his prescription for fixing Labour’s mess.
The time is subject to confirmation – watch this space.
24th February – Cambridge Union Society
