This in from the office of Isle of Wight Conservative MP, Andrew Turner. Ed
The Island’s MP has organised a supper at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club on 28th July to re-launch his Business Club. Nicky Morgan, 
was invited to be guest speaker whilst she was Economic Secretary to the Treasury and Minister for Women; her surprise promotion to the Cabinet this week during the Government reshuffle meant an anxious 48 hours in Mr Turner’s Riverside Centre offices whilst she sorted out her priorities during her first few weeks in office.
However, Mr Turner is pleased to announce she has confirmed she is keeping her commitment to re-launch his Business Club, saying:
“I’m really delighted that Nicky is still able to come to the Island on 28th July. I have known her for many years and she is very impressive; demonstrated by the fact that she has been promoted to the Cabinet just four years after she became an MP. She was my first choice as the guest for my new-look Business Club; now that she is Secretary of State for Education having her as our first speaker is even more of a coup. Whenever somebody new takes over a such a position there are inevitably many conflicts in the diary where the previous Secretary of State has made commitments – the newcomer has to juggle those with their existing arrangements.
“My Business Club is not designed for fund-raising, it is an opportunity for those involved or interested in the Island’s economic life to come together to hear interesting speakers and discuss matters of interest. There is no more important issue to the Island’s future than Education so I’m sure we’ll have a great turn-out.”
The three-course supper will cost £21.00 and numbers are limited. More details including a menu and booking form is available from Mr Turner’s office on 530808 or by e-mailing [email protected].
