Whether you are a newcomer or an old member, come and join us!

Since we have some new people interested in debating, we’ll probably continue with the 5 minutes speeches.
After an exciting debate, we will continue the evening in a bit more comfortable venue. Bar Nolla was tested last time and since it was fairly popular, we might be staying there this time too.
