About us

The Conservative Society of Royal Holloway is for supporters of the Conservative Party and like-minded individuals who broadly support the Party.

The Society is affiliated with the Windsor Conservatives and Runneymede and Weybridge Conservative Assocations. As such, we've been able to connect with Windsor MP Rt Hon Jack Rankin who has been able to provide events for the society to attend. We also work closely with the Egham & Thorpe Conservative branch to increase the outreach that our society has.

While campaigning remains a primary aim, the social side includes a range of events that include; pub socials, trips to Parliament and wider association dinners. We hope that these events create a wide network for you!

In 2025, we were nominated for "Best New Society" at the Student Union awards.

Membership

By being a member of the Conservative society you'll have access to our events throughout the year. Whilst membership is not mandatory, we recommend you have the membership to make sure you're front of the queue for number restricted events! The committee is working towards an array of networking, social events and guest speakers, all to be held on campus and local assocations this year. We are also planning to engage with our Alumni of MPs, Members of the Lords, Political Staffers and Lobbiest to create a network of possible work experience to make our members as employable as possible.

Events and Activities

Pint & Policy: A tradition of the RHUL Conservative Soceity, where we meet to discuss policy whilst having a drink!
Cross political society socials: An important event for increasing the political landscape at RHUL. We usually meet once a month with the Labour & LibDem societies.
Guest Speakers: Thanks to the Windsor Conservatives, we've been able to attend talks with Liz Truss. And thanks to the Egham & Thorpe Conservatives, we've been able to attend a drinks reception with Andrew Griffith MP. And we hope to have guest speakers on campus within the coming months!
Trips to Parliament: Thanks to our relationship with the Windsor Conservatives (and subsequently Jack Rankin MP) we're able to offer trips to Parliament, where you'll be able to meet MPs and see how everyday Parliamentary activities work.
Mock-Parliamentary debates with other Political Societies: Like the cross party socials, this is a really crucial way of expanding the political landscape on campus and talking to other parties, just in a more formal environment.
Campaigning with the Egham & Thorpe Conservative branch: With local elections coming up next year, your role in campaigining could be crucial in getting local Conservative councillors elected!
