Congratulations to Connie and Doug, and good luck in the octos! It sounds like the other teams did really well as well. Hope you're all having a good time in Thailand!

Happy New Year

Congratulations to Tom Cahn, the new SSC Debates Officer. Commiserations to Chris, it looks like it was a very close race with two strong candidates. All the best to Tom for the next year!

This probably means the unions are planning another 2 48 hour strikes. According to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/6433343.stm the RMT are meeting this afternoon to discuss further strikes. There's nothing to suggest that the strikes will continue over the weekend. See you at 7.15!

The motions are all fun and IR related.

You say that now...

Yeah, but if I describe them as evil IR motions (as if you'd set nasty motions...) I'll probably end up having to go to more rounds.

Thank you to the 28 people who chaired, judged, sergeanted or dummied in the first round of the Courier (unfortunately that includes Tom!). Particular thanks has to go to Doug, for dummy speaking in four of the rounds, and other people who went to rounds at the last minute, Alex, Laura, Daniel, Mile...
