Hello All! Just to remind you we are holding the last debating session of the year tomorrow (Thursday - 8pm, usual place). Being the last debate before CHRISTMAS we shall be having an exciting and fun Christmas motion for all to enjoy! Now that you have all developed a good understanding for the roles on the table, the general rules and judging criteria, NEXT TERM we shall be concentrating on CONTENT… This will involve some teaching sessions run by particular people who are masters in certain debating fields - be that ethical, political, philosophical etc… motions. Next term / semester we will also be holding an international debating competition – THE LEEDS I.V. - with debaters from all over the country and even abroad - this is the first year we will be running such a big event in many years. It is being run by the committee, but chiefly organised by Zaynab, so if any of you want to get involved and help out on the day(s) let Zaynab know - it would be greatly appreciated! If any of you are not on the mailing list and have not recieved the Debating HANDOUT Special (6pgs - v. useful) and would like a copy, email unidebat@leeds.ac.uk and I will forward you a copy. It is very useful as a refresher for periods of debating drought e.g. over Christmas! Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
