CUCA have offered Nick Clegg discounted life-time membership if he rejoins.
Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Party, was a member of CUCA when he attended Robinson College. Greg Hands MP recently published a copy of the relevant membership list.
Mike Morley, Chairman, wrote to Mr Clegg, saying “I was very interested to read that you were a member of CUCA during your time at Cambridge.
“As the incoming chairman, I thought I would write to you and formally invite you to re-join the association. As a member you would benefit from reduced-price tickets to our social events and would once again be part of the most active political society in Cambridge.
“CUCA as an association – like the Conservative party nationally – has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and we now have many more members than the Labour club or Lib Dem group. Membership of CUCA normally costs £4 for a year, or £8 for life – but given your previous membership of the association, we would be happy to let you ‘upgrade’ to life membership for just £4. Let me know if you are interested in becoming part of CUCA once again.
“I enclose a membership renewal form for your convenience.”
