University of Southampton 84 Club

Benefits for members


The 84 Club’s events provide a lively, informal setting for members to meet, share ideas and gain new knowledge.

Members are invited to meet for dinner four times a year.

Each event offers an opportunity to network with senior figures from the University and from a range of the region’s key organisations and businesses.

The Club attracts eminent speakers to talk on topics of national interest. The talks are followed by an open discussion, allowing members to get involved in the debate.

As well as 84 Club events, members receive invitations to other University events throughout the year.

A ‘Members only’ area of the website offer access to a directory and additional information.

“Do I have better relationships with the University and city networks than I had before getting involved in the Club? The answer is unequivocally ‘yes’.” 

Kim Hayward, Managing Partner, BDO Stoy Hayward LLP

“The University is one of Southampton’s largest employers, a major seat of learning and an understated jewel in the city’s crown. As such it has a lot to contribute to the region, and by the same token the region has a lot to contribute to the University.”
