A Special Breakfast with The Rt Hon Sir John Major to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Walbrook Club
Wednesday 28th April 7:45am, The Walbrook Club

Pi Capital, through its special relationship with the Walbrook Club, has secured a limited number of tickets to a very special breakfast with guest speaker Sir John Major.

Sir John Major, KG, CH, ACIB is a British politician, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1990 to 1997.  During his term as Prime Minister, the world went through a period of political and military transition after the end of the Cold War.  This included the growing importance of the European Union and the debate surrounding Britain’s ratification of the Maastricht Treaty.  Despite claiming the most votes in British electoral history in the 1992 General Election, the Conservatives lost the 1997 General Election in one of the worst electoral defeats since the Great Reform Act of 1832. After the defeat, Major resigned as the leader of the party, and was succeeded by William Hague. 

Sir John Major retired from politics, leaving the House of Commons just before the 2001 General Election.  Major turned down a peerage.   In recent history, only Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Edward Heath have not been elevated to the House of Lords, although as of 2010, Major’s successor Tony Blair remains without a peerage or knighthood.  In 2005 Sir John Major was elected to the Committee of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), historically the governing body of the sport, and still guardian of the laws of the game.  Following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, he was appointed a special guardian to Princes William and Harry, with responsibility for legal and administrative matters.
