Updates from Meeting on 10/2/10

The third meeting of the UTA Debate Society was very succesful!!! So.... what was achieved:
Recruitment- Flyer Disbursement
Kija will be designing and disbursing flyers throughout the Campus and City
Pekka and I will be meeting on Friday (12/2/10) at 11:45 in the front of Linna to hand out flyers, anyone and everyone is welcome!

Possible recruitment ideas:
*In Lectures make an announcement about our debate society, it can brief and should include the meeting location and date.
*Contacting ESNT FINT and the Student Union about advertisement/recognition of our debate society (I will be taking care of this)
*Jenni is putting together a mailing list, so if you know of any friends/collegues that are interested in the debate society email their contact information to Jenni and she can add their name to the list

BIG NEWS!!!! The UTA Debate Society is know on facebook so spread the word. The Group name is simply UTA Debate Society so join and send the link to all of your friends.

Following discussion we had our first debate in the British Parliamentary format. The Motion (Topic) was THBT every child deserves a mother and a father in their home. The debate went well and participants were able to practice their public speaking skills, role fulfillment in the BP Format and speaking for 7 minutes.

PLANS for the next meeting:
Continuing to discuss and brainstorm ideas for recruitment!
We will be watching a video of an experienced debate in the BP Format!
And will continue by discussing the importance of role fulfillment and how it was used in the speeches in the debate.

Thanks
-Karen
