Locally, the Conservative Party runs a popular and successful Patrons' Club. This is designed for those members who are able and willing to pay a higher than average subscription to support the work of the Conservative Party. In exchange for this enhanced support, Patrons are invited to two exclusive events each year:
A Champagne Reception in the home and gardens of one of our local members, where guests enjoy a wonderful Afternoon Tea or Canapes with free flowing Champagne. A local Member of Parliament is also present to speak to Patrons about the political events of the day.
Sadly, due to the General Election and Leadership Contest, we have been unable to run the Champagne Reception.
The Winter Dinner at a prestigious London venue, such as the Athenaeum Club, the East India Club or the Army & Navy Club, where guests enjoy a three course meal and the opportunity to meet and hear from a high ranking member of the Conservative Party. Recent guests have included Boris Johnson, Theresa May, Priti Patel and Huw Merriman.
Membership of the Patrons' Club costs
- £200 for a single member
- £300 for a joint membership
To join the Patrons' Club (or to renew your membership if you are already a member) please send a cheque (payable to your local Conservative Association e.g Tunbridge Wells Conservative Association) to Kent Conservative Group, Suite 2, Business Centre, Paddock Wood TN12 6EN.
Alternatively, you are welcome to pay online using a credit or debit card via our PayPal link below. The online option does include a 5% surcharge to cover the costs levied by our card provider.
If you would like to pay annually by standing order, which saves us the cost of sending you a reminder and saves you the inconvenience of writing a cheque, please contact the office at westkentconservatives@gmail.com for the relevant paperwork.
