After a fantastic year of debating we were delighted to put the icing on the proverbial cake last night, taking home the award for ‘best new society.
Unfortunately our eagerness to grab the prizes (a certificate and trophy, as modelled by Bowles and myself) prevented us from making an acceptance speech. So instead I would just like to say a big congratulations to the other societies who were deservedly nominated for this award; if there was a prize for ‘most unoriginal new society’ we almost certainly would have won that also and there have been some great new socs popping up on campus that we can’t wait to work with and perhaps help towards taking the accolade next year.
Also I would like to thank all the guest-speakers we have had this year, all those who have supported us and, most importantly, our members who show up every week. One of the factors in us winning was our great member base so this is by no means a committee award.
Next year KDS will not be a new society and the challenge now will be putting ourselves in contention for best society.
