Hi Ron, Neil here (your predecessor).

We were wondering (David Jones and myself), whether debating has carried on, and, if so, how it's doing, as we can't seem to email your school address. Hope all is going well. Neil

Thanks for asking. It is, of course, continuing. As a matter of fact, Josh's extremely cynical but very effective marketing strategy ('Senior debating makes you look clever on your UCAS form'), combined with my highly noticeable posters (a cream background, with a maroon title and a nice big picture – they look rather like letters from school, and so appear important), have given us a membership of around forty.

The first meeting went rather badly, as some fools wrote their names on the attendance sheet in a rather offensive way, but this ended up being beneficial. The President has been empowered to close the meeting early should the debate become too rowdy (this power, I am happy to say, has not yet had to be employed). This has led to greater discipline and more interesting debates. The next four meetings went fantasticly well.

The sixth debate, next week, will be, "This House believes that the Conservative Party is a dying party." Josh, of course, is opposing, and I shall prepare a speech to deliver from the floor.

I'm not sure why you can't contact me on my school account. My main email address is ronaldwalterdavidcollinson@yahoo.co.uk (imaginative, no?)

Until then – good luck! Ronald Collinson 00:01, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Ron! You're alive! And good to see you're on Wiki too! :) David 14:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

PS I've sent you an email or two. If they don't reach you (at your Yahoo! mailbox) tell me here. David 15:00, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
