WHERE WE MEET
|
The Congresses for Democracy - of which there have so far been nine - are held twice a year at Church House, Dean's Yard, Westminster. They provide an opportunity to hear first class speakers and to meet fellow campaigners in attractive surroundings. The debate takes place in the General Assembly Hall and lunch and coffee breaks are taken in the Bishop Partridge and Hoare Memorial Halls. Bringing campaigners together is an important part of the Congress for Democracy. A buffet lunch is provided, so that guests can mingle and get to know each other in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. |
