Remembering David Lloyd George: A Special Anniversary Dinner at the National Liberal Club – SUPPORTED by The Lloyd George Society
Remembering David Lloyd George: A Special Anniversary Dinner at the National Liberal Club
Wednesday 26th March – 7.00pm
Join the National Liberal Club for an extraordinary evening to mark 80 years since the passing of David Lloyd George, one of Britain’s most influential statesmen. This special anniversary dinner provides an opportunity to honour a visionary leader whose radical reforms and brilliant leadership helped shape the nation.
As a shrewd Liberal politician, Lloyd George was celebrated for his exceptional oratory, organisational skills, and unwavering determination, guiding Britain through the turmoil of the First World War. However, his legacy is a complex one—while he achieved so much for the British people, his personal flaws have also sparked debate over the years.
This evening aims to be a thoughtful reappraisal of David Lloyd George’s life and achievements, exploring how a man of humble beginnings rose to become a towering figure in history.
The evening will feature a talk by David Chadwick MP (Liberal Democrat MP for Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) discussing David Lloyd George’s impact and legacy.
Our second speaker, Richard Rhys O’Brien (Grandson of the Rev. J. T. Rhys, the former private secretary of Margaret Lloyd George at No. 10 and author of two recent books published on Margaret Lloyd George) will explore and reveal the extensive welfare and political campaigning of Margaret Lloyd George, and how she in many ways supported Lloyd George and helped win the war.
