Last night, York debating took part in a campus general election debate, live on radio! We were represented by Chris Woods, who’s role was to stimulate some debate and argumentation between the party representatives. It was a lively and energetic debate, and well worth listening to!
You can listen to the whole debate on URY player at http://ury.york.ac.uk/uryplayer.php?pod=127
We are very pleased to announce we will be holding an introductory workshop, which is open to everyone! The workshop will take place from 2:30 on Wednesday 5th May in L/036. It will be a fantastic opportunity for novice debaters, and people who have never debated before, to get a taste of debating.
It will be quite informal, and we’ll run a few different activities to begin learning some of the basics of debating. Remember, you don’t have to speak! We are quite happy for people to come along just to watch and take part.
Look out for flyers around campus, and we’ll see you there!
As many of you know in May will be the Roses. Every year Lancaster take on York in a competition like no other, both competing for the glory of traditions and of memories long lost on the old battle fields of the War of the Roses!
As has happened for the last couple of years we will be partaking in this. This year it is being hosted by lancaster who have promised us a good CA and socials on both Friday and Saturday. There will be more information to follow but if anyone thinks they are interested would be interested please let us know.
