The Gadson Club

About the Gadson Club

The Gadson Club is the official club for alumni of the Oxford University Conservative Association, whether former officers or ordinary members. 

It is administered by recent graduates from the university and gives its members the opportunity to:

  • Meet senior and well-known figures from the Conservative Party, including Association alumni, at drinks receptions and dinners;

  • Continue their involvement in politics beyond university;

  • Stay in touch with OUCA contemporaries and network with OUCA members from other periods;

  • Keep involved with the Association’s activities and any events that alumni can attend, such as London visits and Termly Dinners.

If you require any information, please contact the Chairman.

To keep up to date with the Club’s activities, please visit its Facebook page.
