Thanks to some pesky spambots which continually create bogus accounts I've disabled registration for the summer.

 

EDIT: Since doing this the spambots have sent me inquiries about registration so if you want an account you'll have to find my contact details yourself, which are on this web site.

Worlds

So,

We may be a baby society but the time has come: we are sending teams to worlds, which happens to be from the 27th of December 2008 to 4th January 2009. It's being held in Cork which as most of you know, is in Ireland. Now this is probably the closest Worlds is going to be during your university Career. Next year it's in Koc in Turkey and after that probably it probably won't even be in Europe. We have a maximum of 3 Team spaces and 2 judging slots, and although I am not expecting competition to be tight for the places, (as most of you don't seem that interested in competitions) I think that the fact that at a maximum of 400 Euro per person, which includes a stay in a 4 star hotel, with food and over new year this means a saving of at least 700 Euro. Plus, there is no better way of becoming better at debating than through practise at competitions, and competitions don't get bigger than this.

I need names soon, and will be taking a deposit for those who express an interest and so please email me if you are interested. 

The website for those who wish to know more.

Hello and welcome to Aberystywth University's foremost society for debate of current affairs. We have bi-weekly meetings for for training, debating and social events on Tuesdays & Thursdays in C164 at 7pm in the Hugh Owen Building.

My committee and I will be working hard this semester to provide many interesting debates, fascinating speakers and exciting social events for you. If you would like to suggest any speakers or events, then please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions and I hope that you all do well in your studies and look forward to seeing you at the next meeting.
