The Liberty Club?

[Cato]

Hello all,

I was curious if anyone knew if the Liberty Club was still active in any way? They seem to be silent/inactive recently. I've been toying with the idea of setting up a libertarian society through the Union, and, while I know the Liberty Club isn't affiliated, I do wish to take them into account before starting the whole process.

And yes, I do realise the irony of joining the Association bureaucracy. But it does make room bookings and funding so much easier.

Cheers

As far as I remember, Michael Piekos [sic?] was trying to revive this old chestnut. It could perhaps be worth facebook stalking the chap or looking him up in the address book, as I think while they were inactive, some of their sponsors kept up payments to their account, so joining them might be a more attractive option than trying to start one from scratch - should you so desire, of course.

I'm in that club, yes we havent done very much this year at all, unfortunately, but I believe we were going to have a speaker at one of the debates, or maybe that's already happened. as you can tell I've been a bit out of the loop. Probably better to contact Michael about it, via facebook, first. The society was revived last year to a small number of people interested in the tenets of libertarianism, and is indeed completely free of union interference.

The Liberty Club facebook group is here:

Just editing, I've been meaning to put this on the sinner for a while, but have you seen this? It's an interview of Milton Friedman, by PBS Open Mind in America in 1975, and it is, in my opinion, one of the best cases ever given for libertarian government:

I met Michael when I was up for the CF Scotland conference last weekend; yes, he was telling me that they are reviving the Club (not before time, either!), and the Facebook group should be the best place to go to find out more.
