Sydney wins WUDC

Well, no ex-schoolie winner this year, although Evan and Ranald made the final (for Queensland and Cambridge respectively); and individual performances of note included Jess Prince (ex-Canada Team, 1st) Sam Block (ex-England, 2nd) and Patrick Meaher (ex-Australia, 4th). Congratulations to all of you, and to Sydney (Julia Bowes & Anna Garsia) for their victory. Oh and not to forget the competition convenor Teddy Harrison (ex-Canada)!

Trivia question: only one person, to my knowledge, has winners’ medals at both WSDC and WUDC. Who is it?

Alumni in battle at WUDC

We’re keeping an eye on the performances of WSDC alumni at the World Universities Debating Championships currently underway in Vancouver, Canada. Special congratulations to Sam Greenland (Hong Kong coach and Executive member), Evan Goldman (Australia coach and alumnus) and Ranald Clouston (NZ alumnus), all of whom have reached the semi-finals, to be held later today. We’re crossing our fingers for you!
