General Information

Hello, and welcome to our friendly and relaxed debating society. We would love to meet you - please just come along to a debate and listen, or feel free to join in straight away. By all means phone the secretary on 01255 670827 before you visit if you prefer. 

If you have views on almost anything...

If you enjoy sharing your opinions with friends...

If you like to hear what other people think...

If you want to improve or practice your public speaking... 

Then you will surely enjoy debating!  

We are an informal, relaxed and sometimes cheeky local group, interested in all sorts of open debate and discussion. A diverse bunch, with all sorts of viewpoints, experience and backgrounds, we often amaze each other. 

All ages are welcome. We believe everyone is entitled to their views and ideas so long as they listen to and respect the views of others who may disagree with them. 

We do straightforward debates on an issue, question times on items of topical interest and open forums with more audience involvement and "comedy" balloon debates. Do have a look at our programme, and the more detailed explanation of the different types of event.
