Meet Our Team
Chairman

Deputy Chairman Political
Brad Vaughan
My position basically means I am the rendezvous between the society and the party. Im currently in my second year of studying law which takes up far too much of my time! I first started to get involved in politics prior to the 2005 election when my school held a mock election and myself and a friend ran for the Tories. Out of a school of 400 people, just over 200 voted Conservative. Labour came in a distant second with 60! Since then politics, and the Conservative Party, have been a passion and may eventually lead to a career.
Deputy Chairman Membership & Finance
Anna Booth
My role is to liaise between the members and the committee, ensuring the society has an active membership. I am currently in my third year studying for a law degree at Aberystwyth. After graduation I hope to work at an International law firm specialising in litigation or intellectual property. In my spare time I enjoy playing badminton and discussing current affairs.
Treasurer
Ben Hallett
As treasurer my job is fairly simple, all i have to do is make sure that the society stays in a healthy situation financially. My interest in politics was sparked by the introduction of the Welsh Assembly and I joined the party last year. My future interests don't really include politics as I hope to join the Foreign office but I believe that CF will provide me with invaluable life experience, oh and a good time!
Secretary
Gareth Darbey
I'm a second year student originally from Deeside, North East Wales, and am Aber CF's secretary. I study BA Geography, and therefore have a good deal of knowledge about many contemporary issues such as the environment, as well as economics and social issues. When I'm not studying I enjoy watching most sports and I particularly enjoy playing football, and play for a team in the 'Aber Digs League.'
Events Co-ordinator
Jaia Barratt
My position on the committee is Events Co-ordinator. I will be organising both the Christmas and National CF dinners. I am currently in my second year studying Drama and have a passion for lacrosse. I joined C.F because while at Uni I thought it was the right time to begin to get involved in politics and I was certainly right! There is a great mix between socialising and campaigning in the society, which has been a great way to meet new people
Communications Officer
Chris Hughes
I have been delegated the responsibility of ensuring the Conservative Future message gets out to the people, and in doing this my main role is to run and maintain this blog. Think of me as Minister for Propaganda if you will. I am a staunch free market progressive, take much of my inspiration from the tradition of Hayek and Friedman, and firmly believe that a newly re-envigoured Conservative Party (with some ideas eventually) is the best option for opposing statism and providing a credible alternative government in the British heritage of classical liberalism. I am in my second year of my Political Studies course here at Aberystwyth
