Our weekly workshops are targeted at University debaters, so it will be quite tricky for you to be involved in them. However, we do run a Schools’ tournament in November, at which you would be welcome (although even there, you may find yourself at the younger end of the range!). You would need to find a debating partner, as the format of the competition requires teams of two. Do email debating@guild.bham.ac.uk for more information.
Another suggestion is that you contact some local schools: a number of Birmingham schools run debating clubs, and it would be more enjoyable for you to compete against people your own age than against Uni debaters.

# nah, keep the money in science. Instead of spending on $5billion on a Super Hadron Collider, pick a disease you no longer want to have and cure it. I’d suggest that old physicists could do without colon cancer in their future, eh?
]]>Moreover, if I should be curtailed in any instance wherein my action harms others, why should I be free to withhold potential good from others? Why should I be free to prevent the good from occurring by wasting, keeping or burning the resources which I have already? Isn’t the logical conclusion of this argument that I ought to be forced to hand over the money I was going to spend on a mars bar to buy an antibiotic for a child in Sudan? Can you provide a meaningful acts/omissions distinction to refute this conclusion?
