On the 27th of June, 2009 we debated against Bishop's College on the impromptu topic "THW drop the 'Don't ask, don't tell Policy' on homosexuals" where we opposed. The end result of the debate was defeat on our side, yet it was an interesting debate. On our part the arguments were quite shallow and lacked in depth analysis. Our presentation and strategy wasn't that great either. The defeat helped us to understand the areas we will have to develop and improve. All in all it was a pretty entertaining encounter.
Our usual second speaker, Sithira Gunasekara couldn't make it to the debate as he was ill. He was replaced by Shazad Synon, the B team captain. We had to make a few changes in the speaker roles, but all in all it went quite well.
We would also like to congratulate the Bishop's College team on their victory. We will be having another debate against them, which would be a prepared topic somewhere in September. Looking forward to that.
