The RAG Club Member Events – Lunch with Baroness Brown of Cambridge

The Army and Navy Club 36 Pall Mall, London, United Kingdom

Wednesday 26th February | 12.00 for 12.30 | Clive Room | £65.00

Baroness Brown has been central to government efforts combating climate change for a generation now, as well as a key advisor to every Prime Minister since Tony Blair on science and technology. Her King Report in 2007 that considered vehicle and fuel technologies that would need to change from fossil to a renewable basis over the subsequent 25 years remains key to policy. A cross bencher in the House of Lords and a Dame since 2012, she chairs Parliament’s Select Committee on Science and Technology every week at Westminster and has also advised the Ministry of Defence as chair of the Defence Science Advisory Council, and the Cabinet Office as a member of the National Security Forum.

Join Baroness Brown for lunch to consider science and defence as well as one of the great issues of the day and her views on what key issues the UK government – indeed all governments – face amid concern that the planet is facing global warming. Share in her path from a physics undergraduate at Cambridge where she completed a Ph.D. in fracture mechanics (back then she was Julia King) to Rolls Royce where she was head of materials, Imperial College, where she was principal of the engineering department, and the Carbon Trust, which today she chairs.

The RAG Club Member Events – Cheltenham Preview Supper

The Army and Navy Club 36 Pall Mall, London, United Kingdom

Tuesday 4th March at 19.00 | Library | £83.75

Success at the Cheltenham National Hunt Festival is always memorable for an owner (and punters). Rich Ricci has been in the winner’s enclosure twice to greet Champion Hurdle winners and also celebrated landing the Arkle among other championship races and handicaps over the last 15 years with Willie Mullins, so dominant at Prestbury Park, marshalling his string.

For the Cheltenham preview supper, on March 4th, join Rich as this now traditional club occasion’s guest of owner to relive some of these memories and his notable success with bookmakers. In conversation at the table for all, also considered will be what this year’s festival might hold for Rich, Mullins, and other big players.

Like Mullins, Emma Lavelle can boast names on the Cheltenham roll of honour. She saddled Paisley Park to win the Stayers’ Hurdle in 2019 and has two other successes to her credit. She will be alongside Rich at the table to give a trainer’s perspective of the best four days’ racing anywhere and perhaps offer a few insights into racing’s biggest personalities. After all, she did once share a house with a young Sir Anthony McCoy and Barry Fenton (now her husband).

An evening that can only enhance the pleasure you will take from the Cheltenham Festival and the winter game in general. Perhaps even making the game more profitable…
