Hi, Oooops sorry it rather shows I was rushing... I seem to be a year behind, my greeting meant to say 2011 not 2010... I also meant to say ‘happy new year everyone’ and have the ‘First debates of 2011’ as the topic! Anyhow Debater of the Month is Sarah, though very closely followed by Nadia who came 2nd. Harriet was 3rd. Nadia did those jumpers ever get to you? they sent me an email querying that I wanted it sent to Pakistan just after Christmas (so almost a month after I ordered them!)

I'm sure I remember there already being a debate about that, though. I can't find it with a search...

So that will have to come later in the week. Anyhow first RRT debates of the new year including a couple on the kind of topics that seem to always be around at new year, resolutions and predictions. I hope you have enjoyed your holidays and are nice and refreshed for more debating in the year ahead. Alex Debates: http://debatewise.info/index.php/tasks/one-hour-tasks http://debatewise.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=51 Should we make new years resolutions? Will the VAT rise cut consumer spending? Should it be politicians who carry the can for Northern Ireland’s water crisis? Can leadership be taught? There should be a two tier SPL. Tea before water. Should India create a new state of Telangana. Do we need Predictions?
