FRTM - Simply Speaking vs Front Range Club Debate

Darryle,

We discussed your challenge within our club last night and you are on my friend!

We are in the process of determining two speakers and an alternate.  This will be done by next Thursday.  You should be doing the same.

The date of the debate needs to be determined between the two clubs.  The two dates re 8/19/2010 and 8/26/2010.  I'll send you our club's preference next Thursday (likely the 19th).

Once both sides have their delegated speakers, we need to determine the topic.  This should be done w/o the speakers influence/contribution.  We'll put together a list of six topics as a club, you folks do the same.  We'll then combine the lists and each club will vote.  We'll combine the tally and determine topic.  We'll then flip a coin to determine what club takes what side.

We will host this event.  We will supply the event facilitator/coordinator.  You will need to supply the chief judge.

Other jobs that need to be coordinated are judges, counters, timers, Sgt at Arms, awards and refreshments. This can all be coordinated after we get the speakers dialed in.

Please provide your thoughts and if this works for you folks.  Just reply to me as your email address will be bounced from the freelists account copied here.

Thanks!
