David Davis event cancelled
Nov 16
David Davis MP will not be speaking to us this Thursday – he has had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. Our next event will be on 26th November, when Julian Harris, Director of Liberal Vision, will be speaking on global poverty and what to do about it.
4od Britain’s Trillion Pound Horror Story (Originally broadcast 9pm 11/11/10)
It’s good to see more publicity for the TPA, Adam Smith Institute, and IEA.
For more ideas, I thought this was a good read: Maurice P. McTigue lectures on some of the achievements of a reform government elected in 1984 in New Zealand.
Chris Mounsey speaks on ‘What is Libertarianism?’
This Wednesday (3rd November)
6pm

See you there!
No social this week
Oct 18
Thanks to all those who made it to our welcome social last week – it was great to see that so many new people want to get involved in the society this year.
If you took a leaflet from us at the Societies Fair, you may have seen that we had a bar crawl of Leamington planned for Friday of week 3. This is now cancelled, given that the Politics Society are running pretty much the same event on the same day.
Our next event is now 3rd November, when Chris Mounsey will be speaking on “What is Libertarianism?” – more details on that coming soon!
Thanks to all those who joined us yesterday at the Societies Fair.
If you haven’t done so yet, you can still sign up online here:

Or feel free to just come along to our events and see what we’re about.
Our facebook group is here:

If you are having difficulty joining, it is probably because you’re not a member of the Warwick network.
First social:
Meet us in the Dirty Duck at 7pm on Thursday of Week 2 (14th October) – we’ll put up a few posters so you’ll be able to spot us. If you’re going to the Freshers Ball later that night, you can still stop by for a drink or two just to meet us and say hello.
Hope to see you all soon!
Welcome back to Warwick everyone!
Warwick Libertarians will be at the Societies Fair tomorrow, where you can join us or just find out more about us. We even have some free books to give away to our members this year!
On Thursday of week 2, at 7pm in the Dirty Duck, we’re having our first welcome social – we look forward to seeing you there!
We’ve also lined up some excellent speakers for this year, starting with Chris Mounsey, leader of the Libertarian Party, who is giving our introductory talk, ‘What is Libertarianism?’ on 3rd November.
All the best,
The Exec

Cosmopolitanism Talk & AGM
Mar 10
Cosmopolitanism: The end of Nation States and World Government?
In our final talk of the year we welcome Steven Davies from the IHS to Warwick to talk to us about Cosmopolitanism and arguments against the Nation State and World Government tonight (Wednesday) at 6.30pm.
In an increasingly interconnected world, perhaps emphasised at Warwick by the multiculturalism we can see on campus, are old-fashioned notions of the Nation State still applicable? Has economic globalisation made redundant the role Government as a whole? Steven Davies will use his extensive knowledge of the history of economics and politics to argue his case. The event is free for all to attend and will last no longer than an hour and a half including Q&As. Hope to see you there.
When: Wed wk9, 6.30pm
Where: SO.09 (Social studies)
