The Dartmouth House Debating Society convened for its first Members' Debate on Wednesday 1 March. The controversial motion was "This House condemns the outing of gay politicians" and the speakers included Aneurin Brewer and James Dray in proposition and Hannah Klein and Usman Ahmed in opposition. Each of the debaters have taken part in a range of ESU programmes and events. Aneurin participated in the ESU's prestigious US Debate Tour in 2004, James Dray coached and judged at the ESU's Great Shakespeare Debate, and Hannah and Usman were both finalists of the England Championships of the John Smith Memorial Mace.
The motion was put to a vote at the end of the evening and was carried by a narrow margin of 1 vote. For more information about the society please contact Vivienne Thomson at vivienne_thomson@esu.org.
