Inn Politics
Politics with a dash of the spirit of conviviality.
Join us as we discover the art of social and political discourse over the amber nectar, the juice of the grape or the discovery of the many colours spirited up by the magic of distillery imaginations.
Our last meeting was on the 21st October at The Rock Inn, 7 Rock Street, Brighton, BN2 1NF. The meet up started at 7:00 pm and continued until 10:00 pm.
Details of our next event will be published as they become available
All are welcome.
Politics & Prosecco
Join us in the fizzy discovery of matching food and wine with politics and socialising.
We find out just how good our local restaurants are at enticing our taste buds whilst we explore through discourse the latest gossip meandering through local politics, with the odd diversion into the world of Westminster.
Details of our next event will be published as they become available, for detail of how to book email us.
A previous venue was Adelfia which serves authentic Greek & Mediterranean food.
Calendar of Events
With the transfer to Cabinet Government for the City Council many of the functions and informational papers of council business are no longer easily available to the citizens and electors of the city. Of necessity therefore we can only advise of council meetings on an irregular basis. Liberal Democrats believe in Open Government not a closed version.
