Yesterday evening (18 November), Rt Hon Sir David Evennett, MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford and Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party, was the guest speaker at the Priory Conservative Club in Upper Belvedere. It was not a political event, and was instead a light hearted view of politics and Sir David’s experience as a politician.

Sir David spoke about his life, career before politics and told anecdotes about his time in Parliament. In particular, he reminisced about his time during the Thatcher years and working under David Cameron. Following his speech, Sir David took questions from guests.

The Club will be making a donation to Sir David’s chosen charity, the Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice.
