Meetings
Please do not buy the casual membership this membership is now free.
We meet twice a week, casual meetings on a Wednesday which have a more simplified format and competition meetings on a monday in which we use the BP style of debating. The monday sessions are aimed at people who want to debate competitively, if you attend the competition sessions you may also be able to attend competitions in other universities around the UK. Even if you are a complete beginner you are still welcome to try competitive debating, however we would also recommend trying out the casual meetings first to see which you prefer.
You do not need any previous debating experience to attend any of our meetings, committee members are always present to provide help especially to newcomers. Casual meetings are free to attend, whereas the competition meetings require a £10 membership, but we do not mind if you attend a few meetings before deciding to become a member, even for the paid membership.
Regular sessions: Wednesday 6:30pm room 2.06 Baines wing
Competition sessions: Mondays 6:30pm room 1.16 Baines wing
Socials
We always go to the pub after each of our sessions (you are welcome to join us whether or not you drink), and we’re planning larger socials later on in the year.
