The Easters debating tournament, as the name implies, takes place over
the Easter break, starting on Thursday and ending on Sunday. Designed to give
novices a fair go, the tournament operates on a system of “handicaps” which
places a limit on the number of experienced debaters in one team.
Each debater is encouraged to learn as much as they can about the style
and substance of University debating, and the topics generally are not too
difficult. Experienced debaters from all universities are only too happy to
lend a hand to new talent, and Adjudicators will spend extra time drilling
teams on potential strengths.
Of course, it’s not all debating! Each tournament has it’s own
celebrations, so expect to be going out every night! The Easter debating
tournament offers a great opportunity for new debaters to learn the ropes and
to meet other debaters, from other universities. This is a fantastic way for
first years to get to know their way around the university and have some fun too!
Easters is highly recommended. It’s really a lot of fun. And, in 2008, WE’RE HOSTING IT!
