Michaelmas Term 2012 Elise Trewick, President
After a very successful year here at the Union, I’m very much looking forward to our Michaelmas term. To welcome our new members, and welcome back our old ones, I’m planning a term that should be packed with engaging debate and brilliant socials. We will be debating the War on Terror, the upcoming US election, the place of Britain in Europe, and even the fashion industry. With numerous speakers already confirmed, including Paralympian Tanni GreyThompson, and Institute of Economic Affairs Chief Mark Littlewood, the intellectual side of the Union promises to be as exciting as_ever. . We also have some great social events planned. Michaelmas will kick off with our freshers’ drinks party, so that our new members can get to know each other, and get to know the Union itself. The annual Michaelmas ball, this year a Masquerade affair, will be hosted in November in the beautiful setting of Lumley Castle, and should be the highlight of the Union social calendar.
Information
Remember that membership of the Union doesn’t end with graduation, and we’d love to see some of our alumni back in Durham. Whether it’s in our charming chamber for some healthy debate or for a drink in 24, our life members are always welcome!
