17^th November, TWITs meet BOW, St Steven’s Tavern. The Bow Group kindly invited us along to hear John Howell MP, recently elected Member of Parliament for Henley, speak and take some pretty testing questions from the floor; ‘what’s your favourite biscuit?’. Afterwards, the TWITs worked the room and after some serious socialising, impressive quaffing and as voices became louder and gesticulations more flamboyant, it was decided it was time to hit the next venue. The mighty pub crawl began, kick started with the TWITs Around the World Sambuca Challenge. We also managed to squeeze in a spot of sightseeing; Trafalgar Square where we befriended a lovely bunch of UCL raving Tories. After more pubbing with our new acquaintances we headed for the Sports Bar for a bit of disco fever.  It was here that our president, Mr Johnson, sustained a minor injury and subsequently found out that the club wasn’t really ‘into’ first aid. Nevertheless, Mr Johnson, never one to leave a pumping party, carried on. I realised at around 3am that the call for fish and chips was well over due and so the hunt began. We found a Chinese ‘restaurant’, pretty good substitute and all 8 remaining hardcore, young guns piled in and put their orders in. It later transpired that in my eagerness to satisfy my hunger I had ordered three meals. It was an impressive spread. Luckily the other chaps helped alleviate the situation. After the meal, 6 remained. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll to Regent’s Park, little more sightseeing and then it was farewell.

Yet another fantabulous evening. It was great to meet the Bow group and the other strays we picked up along the way… We look forward to future events together!! Photos to follow…

Well done to Mr Friend our TWITS Chief Whip who has recently become Chair of Culture at the Bow Group: the oldest – and one of the most influential – centre-right Think-Tanks in Britain.

Through my personal experience I am certain that Mr Friend is the right man for the job and, on behalf of all the TWITS, I wish him the best of luck in his new post.

Congratulations Mr Friend!

I’ll be keeping you all abreast of the ever expanding social network of the TWITs. Here you’ll find out about our future socials and the morning-after-the-night-before gossip: who we’ve been debating, drinking, dancing with.

The night was capped off in True Blue TWIT style with fish & chips with port. Fantastic FUN to be repeated SOON!!

4th November, The Groucho Club. A delightful evening was enjoyed at this Conservative Arts and Creative Industries network evening. The wine flowed and we happily munched on yummy canapes but more importantly we chat-chat-chatted our way through a whole host of interesting people whether more Tory or creatively inclined! We really put the TWITs out there and the response was great - being students of the prestigious UAL, we are after all, the perfect melange…Creative Tories!!
