Libertarian Alliance Unveils Largest Ever
Events Programme for 2008:
Save these Dates
The UK's most radical free market group has
launched its most ambitious annual programme to date, with a range of
activities geared towards people who are interested in free market and
libertarian ideas. In 2008, events for students are one priority for the
Libertarian Alliance, as is the first annual LA Chris R Tame Lecture.
The Libertarian Alliance's President Tim Evans and Director Sean Gabb today
unveiled plans for the LA's largest ever programme of events during 2008.
Dr Evans said:
"In 2008, the Libertarian Alliance will improve and expand its operations on
all fronts. Next year will see the inaugural LA Chris R Tame Lecture, six
dinners for Libertarian students from universities throughout the UK, and a
Christmas Reception at the National Liberal Club."
He added:
"In addition to this, the LA will also host a further expanded LA Annual
Conference in October 2008 and ten monthly LA Gold Subscribers' Dinners in
Westminster's Shepherd's Restaurant."
However, Dr Evans explained that after 20 years, the monthly Putney Debates
would be reduced to taking place every three months, but remaining on the
second Friday of January, April, July and October.
"The original purpose of the Putney Debates was to provide a regular meeting
place and somewhere for newcomers to the Libertarian cause to make friends and
exchange ideas. The emergence of on-line social networks is creating new ways
of achieving this objective. By expanding the range and quality of activities,
the Putney Debates will become only one of many activities available to our
supporters."
In addition to this ambitious programme the organisation will also continue to
expand its web site at www.libertarian.co.uk and its blog at
www.LibertarianAllianceBlog.com It will also continue to publish and freely
distribute on-line a wide range of new pamphlets and press releases. And it
will no doubt continue to attract widespread press and media attention.
