IWe’ve got a fantastic term of events lined up for you all, the first of which I have the pleasure of announcing now:
All Members new and old are warmly invited to attend our Wine Reception this coming Tuesday, with guest speaker Sam Bowman.

Sam Bowman is Deputy Director of the Adam Smith Institute, the economics think-tank in London. He will be available to chat to Members throughout the evening, as well as delivering a brief address and answering any questions. Sam has made regular appearances on UK national television news, as well as being ranked this year as a UK top-ten Most Influential Economist by CITY A.M., the London financial daily.

The event will take place from 19:00 in the Charles Wellbeloved room, Harris Manchester College (Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TD). The evening is an opportunity for members to get to know each other, more about the society and upcoming events. Be sure not to miss Sam Bowman’s address from 19:30!

Like all our events, this event is free and not ticketed, but to make sure we don’t run out of drinks too early, we recommend that you RSVP so we have a good idea of expected numbers. You can RSVP by joining the Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1064830386875022/.of intellectual viewpoints.

The Hayek Society works together with prominent institutions like the Institute of Economic Affairs and the Adam Smith Institute not only to bring high-profile speakers to Oxford, but also to offer opportunities to our members like internships or invitations to external events. Be sure to ask Sam about opportunities at the ASI!

We very much look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

On behalf of the Committee of the Oxford Hayek Society,
