An Cumann Staire is delighted to have Professor Richard Vinen (King's College London) give a talk on Thatcherism. Richard Vinen specialises in twentieth century history. His current research is on Modern Britain and in particular on the Thatcher governments of 1979-1990. Previously he has worked mainly on twentieth century France and produced a number of publications on Vichy, the fourth republic and the Algerian War. These researches culminated in the publication of The Unfree French: Life under the Occupation (Penguin, 2006) which looks at the consequences of the French army?s defeat in 1940 through the daily lives of those caught up in the horrors of war. He has also written a general book on twentieth century Europe, A History in Fragments: Europe in the Twentieth Century (Little Brown, 2000).

Weekly meeting and lessons. Come and have a go on the decks spin some tunes, meet like minded people who love electronic music and have a chat. All welcome from complete beginner to superstar dj.

Everyone is welcome to our weekly meeting; whether you have some questions about our faith, you don't believe in God and want to know why we do, you are a committed follower of Jesus or you are just looking for a safe location to get some support and guidance , you'd be more than welcome!
During this time we worship God through music and song; we learn about Him from guest speakers and have friendship and fellowship together afterwards over a cupa and snacks.

We believe that there is a great power in the saving message that Jesus' life, death and ressurection brings and would like to bring this message of faith, hope and love to our campus.
