Having avoided any attempts to depose our leader, unaffected by recent flooding and refreshed from our summer (what summer?) holidays, Heaton Manor Union Society is back for another year of debating.
Here's an update on happenings over the summer and since we've returned to school...
Change of day
Heaton Manor Union Society has changed its meeting day. The society will now meet each week on Tuesday's, 2.40pm in room H7. This new arrangement seemed to be the best option for most members and has also meant we've been able to take on lots of new members too. We welcome all our new members.
Debating Programme
We've only had one meeting so far and we've already planned our debating programme for the coming weeks. Members will be debating which is better, the playstation or the xbox; whether or not Scotland should leave the United Kingdom and go its own way; whether presumed organ donation should become law; and whether gay people should be banned from adopting. An exciting programme that covers a range of topical issues, we look forward to all of those debates.
Committee
The new Committee was due to take office on 1st August but due to a number of complications new Committee members won't take office just yet. An ad-hoc Committee of the President (James Bartle), ex-Chair (Laurie Dudley) and Saskia Neibig (former Treasurer and Chair-designate) is currently working on a plan to overcome the present problems.
We look forward to seeing new faces and old over coming weeks as we get back in to the swing of things.
