Debate: Training Day, Worlds Applications, CUSIDnet

by Carleton University Debating Society

CONSTRUCTIVE POINTS 1) Novice Training Day 2) Applying to Worlds 3) CUSIDnet 4) Central Novice Championships 1) Novice Training day is on Saturday, September 16th, starting at 10:00 and going until approximately 4:00 in room 360 of the Tory Building. This year we are partnering up with the University of Ottawa. This will give novices a chance to meet debaters from other schools and get into the debating scene. There will be a show debate with several top debaters from Carleton and Ottawa U and we will be giving seminars about British Parliamentary debating. We will provide samosas, pizza, and drink. All debaters are strongly encouraged to attend. 2) Our application process for selecting debaters for the Worlds University Debating Championship has been extended until Sunday. If you are interested, please email us at exec(a)carletondebate.org with your top three debating tournament results. If you are interested in applying, but have not debated in high school, don't worry. We are having a debate-off to select debaters going to Worlds. 3) At Carleton University Debate Society, we strongly believe that people should be able to argue and debate topics any time they like. To help that need, there are the CUSIDnet forums. Most, if not all of our senior debaters have signed up to the forums. It provides a good atmosphere in which to discuss current events, politics, history, debating cases, or pretty much anything else. Most of the information regarding tournaments will be posted on it. We have a private university forum at www.cusid.ca/community. Simply sign up and send a private message to our moderators -Graham Pressey and Padraic Ryan- to be allowed access into the forum. 4) The annual Central Novice Championships will be held this year by the University of Toronto's Hart House. The tournament will be on September 22, 23, and 24. More information regarding this tournament will be forthcoming. ***Please do not reply directly to this email.

We had a very successful day at prelude, with many students expressing interest about the debate society. Unfortunately, we did not have the locations for meetings available to us at the time. The first official debate meeting is on Friday, September 8th, at 3:30 pm in the Tory Building, room 234. The meetings on Wednesday will take place at 7:00 in Southam Hall, room 316. 2. We have several upcoming events that members are encouraged to attend. Novice Training day is on Saturday, September 16th, from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm in Tory Building, room 360. The University of Ottawa's English Debate Society will be attending this event also. The Central Novice Championships will take place on the weekend of the 21st. Held in Toronto this year, we will be sending as many novices as we can. This is a great opportunity to improve debate skills and meet experienced and new debaters from across Ontario and Quebec.
