Bruges Speech 20th Anniversary Dinner

Dinner in the Presence of Baroness Thatcher

Bruges Speech 20th Anniversary Dinner

A unique opportunity to celebrate with Lady Thatcher her seminal speech.

In 1988 Lady Thatcher, as Prime Minister, famously said to the College of Europe in Bruges: "We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them reimposed at a European level, with a European super state exercising a new dominance from Brussels." Shortly afterwards the Bruges Group was set up to campaign vigorously for the goals outlined in the Bruges Speech.

It is time for the principles so eloquently set out by Lady Thatcher 20 years ago to be embraced.
