As we discussed at the SL annual meeting earlier this year, our tournament has grown so large that the Würzburg youth hostel no longer has the capacity to host our debate weekend. Even though we have thoroughly enjoyed our many previous stays there, and are extremely grateful to them for their wonderful hospitality and support over the years, we have now had to find a different venue. We are happy to announce that this season's debate weekend will take place at the DJH Youth Hostel in Heidelberg. More information about the weekend will follow soon.
We are looking forward to seeing many of you during this new season of Senior League. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely,
Sunny Lorenz
