Easter Term 2011 Chairman - Callum Chairman: Christopher Poel Esq. Of Queens’ College
A Message from the Chairman Christopher Poel It is a great pleasure for me to be able to preside over the Association in the Easter Term. Cambridge is at its most beautiful at this time of year, and I have endeavoured to put together a programme of events that will provide the maximum amount of enjoyment for all members. Not only are there two excellent speakers and our usual social events planned, there will be two Easter-specific events that are always spectacular; the Annual Punting trip, complete with champagne and strawberries, and the decadent May Week Garden Party. CUCA will be a refuge for every student tired of the daily grind and in need of good company and refreshment! If that isn’t a good manifesto, I don’t know what is! Meow meow
EVENTS Royal Wedding Gin and Tonic Lift a glass of delicious Gin and Tonic to their Royal Highnesses in our first decadent event of term! Friday 29th April — 8pm – Black Tie Green Room, Caius College (Free to members/£2 non-members) Edward Garnier QC Mr. Garnier is the Solicitor-General and is on the social liberal wing of the Tory Party.
