architecture and atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for good dining with

distinguished company. The Dome's soaring roof line, artwork, and warm

candlelit ambience will create a memorable setting for a truly great night out.

This

special occasion offers a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with fellow

members of the party from four constituencies and local parties, forge new

friendships, and engage in conversation with members across diverse fields and

backgrounds.

Access

to the college is step-free and there is a lift up to the Dome.

The address for pedestrians, drop-offs and taxis is: Buckingham Road, opposite No. 6 Huntingdon Road

The car park entrance is next to No 61 Storey’s Way, CB3 0DR, accessed only from Madingley Road, NOT Huntingdon Road.

After

dinner, there will be short speeches from senior party members and also a

keynote speaker, details to be announced in due course

The

evening will feature a reception where sparkling wine or soft drinks will be

available.  A three-course meal prepared

by the college’s catering team follows (with or without wine).  While we enjoy tea or coffee with petit fours

after dinner, there will be short speeches from senior party members and also a

keynote speaker.  Afterwards, a paid bar

will be available for post-dinner drinks.

We very

much look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be a memorable evening

of fine dining, excellent company, and the unique surroundings of Murray

Edwards College.

Parking

There

are three disabled parking bays (on a first-come first first-served basis)

immediately outside the porters’ lodge, at the entrance from Buckingham

The Epsom & Ewell's Annual General Fish & Chips Meeting. 

Please note, this is only open to members. 

The guest speaker will be Sir Vince Cable (Former Liberal Democrat Party Leader), followed by our Honorary President, Tom Brake (Lib Dem MP for Carshalton and Wallington from 1997 to 2019). Tom is now Director of the cross party pressure group Unlock Democracy. He has an extensive experience of working both in and out of government on building consensus solutions.

Vital business matters will have to be discussed and voted upon, but we aim to circulate relevant information and figures well beforehand. We should therefore be able to get through business quickly, allowing plenty of time for freshly delivered fish and chips from the chippie across the road, and for our annual Awards Ceremony!
