THE GREAT CROMWELL DEBATE The Great Cromwell Debate was a wonderful night’s entertainment. Old Collegians set up in opposition to the Current Collegians made for a very amusing and heated debate, with the judges having a hard time deciding on who should win (I think they were too diplomatic to make a decision!). In the end it came down to the flip of a coin with the Current Collegians coming out on top. A total of $1397 was raised from the auction for the Helen Begbie Memorial Bursary and the G. Lindsay Lockley Fund. On behalf of the College thank you to all our generous bidders and everybody who helped make the night a success: staff, debaters, judges, volunteers, musicians, guests, guest speakers (Jane Hibberd & Ben de Jong - Chair of the Board) and our witty MC for the night Stu Bade (COCA President).
