Debates unveiled

Hello, there. Perhaps you're still revelling, like many members of the Heaton Manor Union Society, in the delight that the United States of America elected its first African-American President this month. Well, as James has outlined, we celebrated in style with a Sixth Form Vs. Lower School extravaganza. And, two weeks, later, we have now organised our debates for the forthcoming season.
