From Paul Carroll, 104 London Debaters
Tuesday, 25 June 2019 is the TM-Year-End Balloon Debate at 104 London Debaters. Please come along for the evening and get involved!
In a balloon debate, speakers are thrown out of a metaphorical sinking balloon as they try to persuade the audience to let them stay in.
Our theme this year is The "Worst Job" is in fact where you should make your career and will make the case for positions on the Worst Jobs List. After all, recruiting on to the Best Jobs List reflects no glory on a speaker.
Balloon Debates are typically lighthearted/humorous/fun affairs and we look forward to closing the term of office of our extraordinary president Lo Luong Lo with a display of our arguing talents, our ability to read the mood of the audience and our good old witty banter.
Balloon Debates are interactive, with the audience posing questions and each speaker responding in defense of his or her position. The audience decides who leaves the balloon and who remains.
104 London Debaters in the UK's first Toastmasters club dedicated to debate. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at the Grange Rochester Hotel, 69 Vincent Square SW1P 2PA (close to Victoria, Pimlico and St James stations) 6.45pm for 7pm start
