MUDS Annual Novice BP IV

Hello fellow Victorians (and a sydneysider who will be in the state),

Once again MUDS would like to invite you all to come and sample the
delights of CBD study and debating by joining us at our annual Novice
BP IV.

When?

Sunday September 3rd from 9am to 5pm followed by drinks at a surprise location!


Where?

The Law School at the University of Melbourne, Pelham St, Parkville


How Much?

$10 for non-MUDS debaters and only $5 for ALL adjudicators


What's included?

Lunch and afternoon tea will be provided for all participants. Please
let us know if you have any special dietary needs.


Who?

We'd love everyone to come along and get involved, especially more
experienced debaters to help out with adjudication but as it is a
novice competition debaters have to sastify the following criteria:
1. Never debated at Worlds
2. Never won a BP competition (internal or intervarsity)
3. Not participated in more than 2 BP competitions (internal or intervarsity)


Why?

Because BP is heaps of fun and this is a great way to learn how to
debate in a BP style and get feedback from some of Victoria's most
experienced debaters. If you're experienced it's because of the warm
and fuzzy feeling you get from helping others.
ALSO the winning team members both receive Readings vouchers!


Registration.

Please register as teams or individual adjudicators with MUDS
Vice-President and External Officer Liz Ames at amesel@gmail.com by
Thursday 31st August.
Payment will be required at Registration on the Sunday morning - no
money, no food. Not even baked goods.....
