1)Dorchester Volunteers Needed
CUDS is asking for your help! It's for the Lord Dorchester Cup, our annual
university-level tournament. Here are the details. The tournament itself is
from March 2 - 4, 2007. Blair, our volunteer director will need lots and
lots of judges, runners, food organizers and people to do other odd jobs for
all three days. What's in it for you? Well, Dorchester will have socials on
both the Friday and Saturday nights! Fun, all-ages friendly evenings for you
to mingle with the debaters and have an awesome time. Plus, CUDS will feed
you several meals. Also for everyone who has been sent away to a tournament
it is expected that you will volunteer your time for the weekend. Finally,
don't forget the warm fuzzy feeling you will get inside from knowing that
you helped CUDS run the best tournament of the year. If all volunteers could
email Blair at novice(a)carletondebate.org ASAP so she can finalize the
volunteers list.
2) Equity Committee Submissions
At the AGM in 2006, CUDS passed a motion to set up a committee, chaired by
the president, to look into issues relating to equity and diversity within
CUDS. The committee is responsible for witting a report detailing the
current situation and to make recommendations for the club. In order to do
this, the Equity Committee is asking for all former members and current
members to give an account of their experience within the club, to explain
any barriers they felt were present and to suggest any recommendations that
they may have. Anyone who wishes to give an account can either e-mail
equity(a)carletondebate.org or they may meet in person with a member of the
committee. In order to set up a meeting, please e-mail
equity(a)carletondebate.org. Furthermore there will be a thread on CUSIDnet
where any of these issues can be discussed. The Equity Committee looks
forward to hearing from everyone and asks for everyone to submit an account
of their experiences so the report can be as representative of people's
experiences as possible.
3) French and English Nations
French Nationals will be held March 16th to 18th in Montreal. If you are
interested please post on the relevant thread on CUSIDnet or e-mail
francais(a)carletondebate.org. More information is posted on the relevant
thread on CUSIDnet. English Nationals will be held March 23rd to 25th at
Queens University. If you are interested please post on the relevant thread
on CUSIDnet or e-mail exec(a)carletondebate.org. Please be warned that all
spots are tentatively filled as the initial deadline for signing up has
passed.
4) AGM
The AGM is tentatively scheduled for Friday April 6th starting at 2pm. The
AGM is where major constitutional amendments and Bylaws are passed and the
executive for 2007-2008 is elected. We encourage all members to come out and
vote. A reminder that only those members with voting rights can vote. Voting
rights is defined as having either attended an inter-school tournament or
attended four meetings in the past two months. Please post on the relevant
