The Bow Group & the Freedom Association will be hosting a Memorial Tribute to Baroness Margaret Thatcher from 11am-5pm on the 17th of April 2013, with addresses in celebration of her life and legacy by many who knew her, worked with her and were influenced by her.

As a think tank, the Bow Group became a foundry of ideas for free market liberalism that eventually overcame the Keynesian consensus of the post-war era. The successful 1979 Conservative Party Manifesto, which Margaret Thatcher was first elected under, was largely the product of the work of Peter Lilley and others from the Bow Group, who had been campaigning for a change in direction in Conservative leadership and policy for a decade.

The appointment of many of the Bow Group’s senior executive – including Geoffrey Howe, Norman Lamont, Kenneth Clarke, John Major, Peter Lilley, Michael Heseltine and Michael Howard – to Parliament and Cabinet – ,following her election , cemented that inseparable bond, which has lasted ever since.

Please join us to celebrate a true conservative, a great Briton, and a leader of peerless vision.
