THW Create an EU Superstate

At the beginning of April over 50 members of the society gathered in the Great Hall to send it off for the year and to discuss the issue of Europe and Brexit, the great cloud hanging over our heads. It was a right corker. 

Sorry if the audio's a little hazy in places. The Great Hall echoes like hell. And also sorry this is so late. Exams and every got in the way, but it's here now. My last debate as Tech Officer. Wow...

I'll have the AGM up in a day or two and I'll get all mushy and sentimental then. Stay tuned.

The Annual Dufferin Best Speaker Competition 2019 - TH Supports No-Platforming

So, we gathered this last week for the Annual Dufferin Competition - the internal competition where we decide the best speaker of the year! The British Parliamentary style is used, so it's a 4v4 debate, and the speakers are only told the motion 15 minutes in advance. You get to hear it though. Please enjoy:

"This House Supports No Platforming"

Tune in next week for our debate on the success of Cuba.
