Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great Easter and ate as much chocolate as I did!

We won’t be running any more debates this term because I know everyone is under a lot of pressure with exams and essays.

However this Thursday Debating Soc has teamed up with Atheist Society and Christian Union to debate whether Jesus is the son of God. Debating Society will chair the debate and watch Atheist Soc and CU battle it out on this contentious issue.

If you fancy coming along it starts at 7.15pm in Roger Stevens Lecture Theatre 20 on this Thursday 19th April and unlike our debates there will be a chance for members of the audience to ask the speakers questions.

Also, as part of Celebrate 2007 the union will be holding its annual glitzy award ceremony ‘The Riley’s’ on Friday 4th May in the Riley Smith Hall and they asking society members to nominate societies they feel deserve an award. The winners are picked by the Societies Executive body who will base their decisions on the things people write about the group they’re nominating. Having the most amounts of votes will not mean you win, it will be the reasons which people have for nominating which will have the most effect.

If you think you have particularly enjoyed Debating or any other society you have been involved in here is the link to the website:

Nominations close Friday 27th April.

Good luck with all your work and I hope to see you on Thursday.

Best wishes,
Felicity Dennistoun,
Debating Soc President
