George Edward Pole[1] (died 7 September 2014)[2] was a British Conservative Party member and activist, and an early member (pre-1966) of the Conservative Monday Club, of which he served as National Chairman, 1970–2.[3]
At the Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool in 1970, he submitted on behalf of the London South Kensington Conservative Party Constituency Association, the following motion: "That this conference calls for immediate withdrawal of sanctions against Rhodesia and supports Her Majesty's Government in negotiating with the Rhodesian regime to normalise relations".[4]
In January 1971, Pole, as Chairman, led a delegation of fifteen members of the Monday Club to South Africa, and Rhodesia where they were cordially received and treated to a reception at the home of Ian Douglas Smith the Prime Minister. In January 1973, Pole led a further delegation of twelve Monday Club members on a fact-finding tour of Ulster, visiting the main towns and border areas, and interviewing officials.[5]
