1) Meeting Locations
We have a location for tomorrow's debate meeting. We will be meeting at 7pm
in Fenn Lounge, just off of Res Com. For the meeting this Friday we have yet
to confirm a location but that will be determined shortly. With the strike
now over we hopefully will have regular rooms booked by next week. Keep
checking our Facebook group, website and your e-mail for more details.
2) Novice Training Day
Our Novice Training Day will be taking place this Saturday here at Carleton
University. It will start at 9:00am and should be done by 4:00pm. We will
have two world champions giving seminars in the morning and following a free
lunch, we will be having debate rounds in the afternoon. It promises to be a
great day and a fantastic chance to learn from, literally, the best in the
world. All experienced debaters are encouraged to attend this fantastic
event.
3) World's Selection
This year CUDS will be sending one team to the World Universities Debating
Championships (WUDC) in Thailand. We are currently looking for applicants
for this tournament. Those interested in applying must submit their best
three university debating results to exec(a)carletondebate.org by 4pm on
Saturday September 22nd. We also encourage all novices who are interested to
apply for World's. Don't worry about the lack of results as the more
important component is the debate-off. Once all applications have been
received, a time and place for the debate-off will be selected. If you have
any questions please consult the WUDC Selection Policy of CUDS found
here<http://www.carletondebate.org/wudc_tsp>.
Also please feel free to contact the executive via e-mail if you have
additional questions.
4) Novice Tournament at York
This year's Central Canadian Novice Championships will be held at York
University on the weekend of September 28th to 30th. This tournament is only
for new debaters and we encourage all novices to attend. It traditionally is
one of the most fun weekends of the year and York is going to put on a great
show this year. We will be leaving Friday morning from rescom and will
return Sunday evening to Carleton. For all those who want to attend please
e-mail exec(a)carletondebate.org or sign up on the CUSIDnet thread. We need to
know numbers ASAP so the sooner the better.
5) Tournament Sign-up: BP Championships in Edmonton
This years British Parliamentary Championships will be hosted by U of A in
Edmonton on the weekend of November 2nd to 4th. We will be flying to this
tournament so we need to know numbers as soon as possible. We encourage
anyone who would be interested to sign up on the relevant CUSIDnet thread or
to e-mail exec(a)carletondebate.org. Any debater who is interested is
encouraged to apply, regardless of experience or skill.
