Dartmouth House Debating Society - Alumni Debate
A number of top debaters turned out to speak at the ESU's annual Alumni Debate on Monday 4 December, as part of the Dartmouth House Debating Soceity's series of monthly fixtures. The debaters, including former champions and finalists of the ESU's John Smith Memorial Mace and Schools Mace, and several former members of the British Debate Squad, tackled the motion "This House would become self-sufficient".
During the debate the forty-strong assembled audience were given the opportunity to participate in a number of floor speeches.
Second proposition Richard Osborne and Nick Pacheco were eventually declared champions and were duly presented with champagne and book tokens. Afterwards the assembled crowd enjoyed complimentary mulled wine and mince pies in the Dartmouth House Bar.
