Club Meeting #248 - 21st December 2006 - Xmas Debate

A long standing club tradition was relived when 4 of our club members battled it out in a debate contest to see who is the best. With a good balance of experience on each team, a tough contest was had by all. Winners of the contest were Andrew and Tinal with Tom and Enri needing to regroup for next year. The perpetual trophy was awarded to both Andrew and Tinal by Tony who will have their names added to the list of winners and take a place in our club history.
