[CUCA] An invitation from the Carlton Club

[Mike Morley]

Dear all,

The Carlton Club have asked me to pass on and extend the following 
invitation to CUCA members

Dear Younger Members,

You might think, you might very well think that Michael Dobbs, the 
author of House of Cards, former Chief of Staff and Conservative Party 
Deputy Chairman will be coming to the Carlton Club on Monday, 23rd June 
2008 to speak to the Younger Members of the Club over supper.  Michael 
has agreed to come and talk about his experiences in politics and how 
they compare to fiction and as we will be in the Churchill room, he will 
also talk about his novels which are based on the life of Churchill, all 
of which have enjoyed critical acclaim.  Not only will this be a 
fantastic opportunity for members to put questions to Michael, he has 
also agreed to sign copies of his books, some of which will be available 
to buy on the night.

Members are invited to attend at 7.30 for supper at 8pm.  The price for 
this event, which includes supper (beer battered fish, with chips and 
mushy peas), half a bottle of wine and coffee is £23.50.  Please contact 
Victoria Redden on victoria.redden at carltonclub.co.uk or call 020 7399 
0907 to book tickets.  Alternatively, you can book online via the 
following link (scroll down towards bottom of page):

This is a unique event and we expect that tickets will sell very 
quickly, so do buy them early.  The Younger Members' Committee looks 
forward to seeing you on 23rd.
