Founded in 1973 for members of NLC who wanted a regular opportunity to discuss political developments. As the name implies there is a Liberal heart. Equally welcomes people of all party allegiance or none. Not hide-bound by policies of particular parties. Independent in its thinking – doesn’t have to please anybody.

Meets at the NLC Monday evenings 6 times a year. Visitors are welcome including non-members of NLC. Usual format – speaker with specific subject and ample time for questions and discussion.

Members would like to be described as radicals in the sense of wishing to penetrate the roots or causes of political issues and also of having the pre... to anticipate otherwise unexpected consequences of government policies.

Mission New enlightened form of Gladstonian Liberalism.

Rules Members and guests are reminded that the only rule is that people should only say what they genuinely believe, should be heard with respect and answer likewise in terms of reason.
