We hope to see you out there! 4) Upcoming Tournaments: The French Debate Nationals, the Leger Cup and the English Nationals are all coming up. For more information about participating, email exec(a)carletondebate.org or post on the appropriate thread on CUSIDnet. 5) Dorchester Cup: Carleton is once again hosting the Lord Dorchester Debating Cup, and we need volunteers. The Dorchester Cup is held on March 2nd to March 4th, and if you want to help out in any capacity, please email Josh Prowse at dorchester(a)carletondebate.org. This is a great way to help out the debate club, and also gain experience in judging and other aspects of debate.
