As well as fulfilling the constitutional duty to deliver a card to His Majesty The King and Vice-Chancellor Stuart Croft, cards were also sent to the PM, a number of local MPs, associations and friends of the UWCA
All good things must come to an end. We all agree our time as the executive committee of the UWCA has been the most tremendous honour for all of us.
As our time comes to an end, we wanted to share some of our favourite memories and proudest achievements.
Brilliant to be out again in Nuneaton today. We can’t seem to escape the rain on these campaigns, but even the weather can’t stop us from being the most active university conservative association in the country!
Thanks to everyone who came along!
