The character rich spa town of Cheltenham has many claims to fame, from horse racing's Gold Cup to its world class festivals of music, literature and science. This picturesque town at the edge of the Cotswold Hills is also home to some of the best secondary schools in the country, such as Cheltenham Ladies' College and Pate's Grammar School. Cheltenham is the base for the British Government Communications Headquarters, known to you and me as GCHQ. The distinctive offices of this vital centre of security is affectionately nicknamed 'The Doughnut,' because of its ring shaped structure and not its jam filled centre. The town also accommodates a variety of organisations and businesses from across a range of sectors, including GE-Aviation, UCAS, Zurich Financial Services, Spirax-Sarco Engineering and SuperGroup plc, owner of the Superdry fashion label.

Cheltenham Patrons Club
Cheltenham Conservative Patrons Club is a dining club with a political theme. Members can attend four Dinners throughout the year. We invite a wide range of speakers, including, MPs, political analysts, journalists, and special advisors. Our President, The Right Honourable Alex Chalk, also attends and speaks at the Dinners and is a keen supporter of Patrons Club.
Our Patrons Dinners take place on a Friday evening and we always host a Q&A session at the end of our speaker’s talk. Our Patrons Dinners are informal, friendly and interesting, giving Members the opportunity to socialise with like-minded people. Members can expect an evening of excellent food, good wine and stimulating political discourse. Membership is only £100 a year and, as a member, you will be entitled to discounted tickets for our events.
Patrons Club raises vital funds for our Parliamentary candidates, borough and county councillors and our Association here in Cheltenham. Funds raised go towards printing campaign leaflets, supporting our digital campaigns and buying essential equipment. Without these funds, we cannot run professional election campaigns!
