Who what where when?

The University of York Conservative and Unionist Association (or just the York Tories) is the largest political party on campus, and one of the most active and friendliest!
We pride ourselves on being a primarily social organisation joined together by politics. We have a weekly debate and meal on Thursdays in D/056 at 7pm.
