It was with great pleasure that the Debating Society met up for the first time since the pandemic began. A variety of topical issues were explored including  whether panic buying was inevitable, if vaccinations should be made mandatory, should picketing children at schoolgates be banned, is blocking the M25 is an appropriate way of highlighting  global warming and how  the current state of  the country could be improved. The meeting closed with a reflection on what careers we would have chosen if only we had known better!  A very interesting evening was had by all with many lively and thoughtful contributions from the attendees.
