I just wanna like, bring people together and stuff y'know ɷ◡ɷ 

Ok to make this a bit proper I have three proposals for things that, if elected, I'd like to implement for the next academic year.

When we host tournaments

1. Debate workshops/lectures.

As you've probably already come across online, its not uncommon for big tournaments to have their CAs do a workshop on specific debate skills such as weighing, judging or running principles. By incorporating such workshops into our own tournaments we'd allow for our participants to learn directly and interactively from some of the best debaters in the circuit, while also contributing back to the global debating community (if we upload them). This may come at some extra complexity and monetary costs, but since these workshops will be very accessible to members of the club I think it'd be a net win.

The tournaments we host

In addition to our ~5 existing 'flagship' tournaments, I want to host:

2. An online tournament.
3. A wacky tournament.

An online tournament can take alot more people, meaning lower single team reg fees while still maintaining a good profit margin for club activities. The wacky tournament will need some more thorough brainstorming from the future convening team, as well as some very accommodating CAs. However if there's sufficient interest I think it'd be very fun to host something like an alternative format or a specialty theme tournament.

Sorry about the odd formatting. Tbh idk if I'd be a good convenver, but issokay, trust ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ
