Discussion of Motions

Motion: Sponsoring a Giant Tortoise from WWF

TN: Comrade tortoise (i.e., him) wants funding to sponsor a Giant Tortoise. Gardeners unwilling to look after a tortoise, this is an alternative way to support tortoises. Since the motion was submitted, looked into an alternative to WWF – Galapagos Conservation Trust. £42 rather than £100.
Tom: How big will the tortoise be?
TN: Gestures with hand, the size range of a cucumber.
Where will the soft tortoise live (complementary as part of providing funding)? In the JCR.
Points of support and debate.
Jade: Supports tortoises.
Cora: Supports 2 tortoise idea.
Voting – passes 30-0 (5 abstain).

Motion: Death of a Salesman

CT: Summarised the motion, £275 for another great Gilon play. Not here for the motion as he’s busy in rehearsals, very committed.
Points of support and debate.
Harry Lucas: Gilon’s plays are amazing.
Voting – needs 60% (over £200), passes 30-1 (4 abstain).
GM adjourned.
