I didn't know we'd run Israel so recently! Certainly not in the last two years. I'm actually quite excited for the Israel debate, and I think it has the potential to draw in a new crowd (possibly of Americans, possibly IR students). Also, I think the motion's well worded (I didn't word it) so that t...

You're all right. My error. I put down short prep because that's what it was this year and I was trying to remember, but you're all correct, it's going to be long prep so that: 1. People will have a chance to decide whether or not they are interested/wish to come. 2. The Maiden speakers themselves d...

Glad you like the term card! I think the Freshers debate motion is still up for discussion, but just wanted to keep you informed on what was going on. I think next term we should have 'This house believes space exploration is a waste of time' and maybe something environmental. But I must say, I very...

...it's up!

Fabulous Laura, thanks so much!

When it's too hot outside, I can think of nothing better than relaxing with some debating competitions.

And extra thanks to Connie and Doug for holding the trials (and of course Laura for putting up with everyone's schedules). I still want to see Joanna Nairn debate though. Doug, where would I find that? *Side note to Doug: Saw a CNN special on obeisity entitled 'The Battle of the Bulge'. Thought the ...

[quote] Quoting exnihilo from 14:08, 19th Apr 2007 Next, I do not degrade competitive speaking. Although it is not something I ever took part in, I judged for the better part of a decade, was graded 2, raised thousands in sponsorship for it, ensured money for teams to go to World Championships and, ...

I will indeed start with the website. Unfortunately I will not be able to put up the dates and motions for the rest of term until the board meeting. The sponsorship page is being revamped as we speak. Also there will be a page on the Balaka very soon. What other information would you like? If you'd ...

Congrats Rach!!

Also, well done to the St Andrews teams in the Mace final. I heard you gave them a good run for their money (split decision, oooooh baby!)

YAY!!

I cannot believe you're all still talking about this! Firstly, I'd like to say to which ever unregistered users decided to write the offensive remark on a public board, well, I'm not sure that was exactly tactful. Secondly the remark was of an extremely offensive nature, though not intended to be. I...

I think I might make a few posters...



Nah, in all seriousness, a lot. Tons. But I'd kind of like to have a board meeting before spelling it all out. After all, I want to make sure I'm communicating the right things and not just what goes on in my silly colonial head!

Better yet.... CONTACT INFO!!! Convenor Thomas Cahn @tprc -general society questions and concerns, LPH, motions Inter’-Varsity Secretary Laura Mattina @lem55 -inter’-varsity competitions (here at away) Serjeant-at-Arms James Boulter @jab58 -alumni relations (including publications), sword etiquette ...

What Chris explained is true. Also the Internet in my flat is down. I've just updated it for the next debate, the next IV competition, and recent successes (including Worlds). The Solatium date will be posted soon. I'll be trying to updated it as much as possible this coming couple of days. Election...

Good plan.

Congrats to everyone who got through Euros trials, we will be sending: TEAMS: St Andrews A - Doug Cochran and Connie Grieve St Andrews B - Rachael Whitbread and Chris Hawkins St Andrews C - Miles Wood and Tom Cahn JUDGES: Lauren Cahill Kelly Wade-Johnson Well done to everyone, and extra thanks to th...

Euros trials will be held on Wednesday, Febrary 14th in Venue 2 on the Top floor of the Union. We are sending 3 teams and 2 judges. One team has already been selected on the basis of their outstanding performance at an international competition (worlds 2007), and that's Doug Cochran and Connie Griev...

Of course we want this to be an open process. If you stop by the Refreshers Fayre you'll be able to pickup a sheet of paper about the Constitutional change. Obviously, everyone's welcome at the meeting on Wedns.(we're going to regret having put this one on Valentines Day, aren't we) and we'll discus...

The Constitution meeting will be next Wednesday, Feb 14th @ 5pm. The change will be the creation of an Internal Secretary and elimination of the Championship Secretary.

See you there!
