Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

CH Debating Society

Post by Mid A 15 »

Friday nights in the Dominions Library 3 or 4 times a term Ron "Nog" Lorimer presiding.

There was an inter House debating competition too as I recall.

I enjoyed the Debating Society. Does it still exist?

It was Michael Cherniavsky before Ron Lorimer, and for a year, the Observer Mace was ceremonially marched in ahead of the chairman and speakers.
