Hey, kids!

How was your Dionysian week?

One effective homeopathic remedy for your hangover is to get intoxicated again! So come and join us at The Font at 7:30pm on Wednesday.

We cannot wait to welcome back existing members as well as to meet new faces!

See you Wednesday😉

[Manchester Debating Union @mdunion]

Though it’s such a shame that we couldn’t meet you today, you’re still more than welcome to come to our training session next week! (Tuesday at 5pm, Room 5.210, Uni Place).

We’ve also prepared some information for you to get a little taste.

Take care, hope to see you soon!🌅
