---- Senior League weekend in Würzburg (25-27 FEB 2011) ----
WEDNESDAY, 16 FEB: last payment date (65 EUR per speaker
and/or judge)
UNIVERSITY STUDENT JUDGES: please let us know if you need/want
to apply for financial assistance! Signing up doesn't automatically do
this! Thanks for helping us out in Würzburg!! Through your participation
and
support it looks as if we'll have enough judges to fill all debates with
three of them and make the event run smoothly, fair and professional for
all 250 participants! Your participation fee is 30 EUR. We cannot
go as far as waiving the total sum (65) for you, but hope this will still
help you out a little.
You won't need linen or sleeping bags, but bring towels. In case you
forget, towels can be borrowed from the hostel for a price.
FRIDAY, 28 JAN: Last sign-up date and confirmation of number of
attendees per delegation. Dropouts must be aware of losing money, the
rooms will be charged by the hostel and the decision over amount is out
of our hands. Expect to lose the full costs of 65 Euros.
We also need the exact number of speakers/judges only staying for one
night.
Any signups past this date are open to availability at the hostel.
Best regards,
Chris Sanchez

Round 2:
TH WOULD PROLONG THE USEFUL LIFE OF GERMANY'S NUCLEAR REACTORS
Hello everybody!
This is just a small update of the draw for rounds 1 and 2. I'm happy
to announce Nellenburg-Gymnasium from Stockach to fill the empty slot
in Ulm. So now there are 34 teams competing in Senior League this year.
I'd also like to catch up on thanking the venue managers who are hosting
quite many teams at their schools on October 9th, namely Florian Caspar
from Copernicus-GYM Philippsburg, Susanne Pongratz and Julia Maetze from
AEG in Böblingen and Patrick Vins from Schubart-GYM in Ulm!! Thanks
for having us!
I also missed out on welcoming two new teams to Senior League:
Einstein-GYM from Kehl and Goethe-GYM, Karlsruhe with Simone Herter and
Melanie Lucks as coaches! Please give them a hearty welcome in Philippsburg!
I wish you all good rounds and a successful start into the league season.
Best regards,
Chris Sanchez
