Overview
Debating society offers a fantastic opportunity for students to develop their public speaking skills and make friends with a diverse group of people, for a range of skill and interest levels.
Society events are divided by 4 main activities:
Casual Debates, Competition (BP), Socials and Varsity.
What do we do?
Example topics from previous debates:
(Casual debates)
(Competitive - British Barliamentary)
Schedule
The format is currently a mixture of casual and BP so feel free to attend either half or stay for both
Casual Debates & Socials (Wednesdays 6-7pm)
Competitive (Wednesdays 7-8pm)
Socials
We regularly go to The Gooseberry Bush after our Wednesday debates to unwind, eat, and drink. There will also be a variety of socials organised for our members throughout the year. These will include Ocean, bowling, karaoke, and board games nights.
Varsity/Competitions
Last year we attended and competed at the World University Debating Championships in Madrid
We are mostly new in 2023 to varsity events but are currently organising to host the Midlands Debating Competition [SIGNUPS OPEN UNTIL FEB]
