Newcastle University Conservative Society is a social space for those with an interest in British politics and conservative thought. The society aims to be broadly associated but not officially affiliated with the Conservative and Unionist Party of the United Kingdom.
NUCS aspires to provide a place where debate, networking and activism are promoted while advocating for our civil liberties such as free speech, free association and free academia on campus. We have regular events year-round including debates, speakers’ receptions, themed parties, port & policy, formal dinners, joint society events, competitions and charity dinners. This is as well as campaigning, going to conference and other party events.
Members will also be encouraged to engage with student politics, media and local political activism to question their beliefs and those of others.
We have varied meeting days and times. However, they are usually at a local pub or other venue off-campus on a Thursday evening. Check our facebook group for more information and announcements on timings and locations.

A new Committee has been elected following an Anual General Meeting of our Society. The results of this election are: Christopher Winter as President Elias Al Dahan as Treasurer Jennifer Mills as General Secretary Will Hayes as Chairman Elliot Kirkpatrick as Welfare Officer Olly Scargill as Local Party Representative Nick Sundin as Postgraduate Officer Stephen Dawes as Union Whip
Despite the closure of campus midway through, NUSU elections have been successful. As usual our political wing has been active in this process, for the first time however, the 1963 Committee asked candidates to stand directly rather than simply supporting those that do. This is part of a broader policy shift towards a party style ethos of standing a candidate in every election regardless of the chances of success.
As our first semester comes to an end we do hope that all of you reading have had a good and pleasant term here at Newcastle and that NUCS has had a positive role in said time. It is now the season where we should look to hold friends and family close and the committee would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. We hope that our humble society might have allowed you to form such friendships over your time here and we look forward to seeing you again in the next term.
