'General Election' - Our Lunchtime Theme on Wednesday the 5th of August 2026

Our theme on the 5th of August is 'General Election'.

(This Lunchtime Forum is on Zoom.)

On Wednesday the 5th of August at the Lunchtime Forum our focus will be on the fight for the heart and soul of the Nation, which will surely follow in the form of a General Election should Labour win the Manchester Mayoral By-Election.   

Once the result of the Manchester Mayoral By-Election is in, we will update this page. 

The Party Conference season is imminent.

 (Join us at a Wednesday Lunchtime Forum and learn more.) 

Be seeing you, Martyn

We have a Wednesday Lunchtime Forum every week, accept on the last Wednesday of the month when we have 'Investing for Tomorrow' at 3 pm from January to November each year.

Our Events

We specialise in micro events and we choose suitable locations accordingly.

At lunchtime when on Zoom only, we encourage folks to have a bite to eat with a glass of something while with us.

Please feel free to agree or disagree with anything that we cover, as we welcome all points of view.

At our in-person Lunchtime Forum events, the minimum stay is one hour from 12:45 pm to 1:45 pm, which is the duration of the Presentation Hour. When attending in person, our dress code is typically smart casual, with a jacket and tie being normal attire for gentlemen when in the City.

At lunchtime, special guests and those who join us regularly are free to arrive when we start, with first arrivals from 12:20 pm for 12.30 pm, when we start. Guests can stay with us until we finish, at 2:30 pm.

(Invitations to our in-person Wednesday Forums are made available to Boutique Investment Managers and other Financial Services Specialists, who may bring Guest Presenters to our Boardroom Events in the City of London.)
