Norfolk Debate Club

Open

Norfolk has always been a city of Navy-town discipline and Hampton Roads logistics. The Norfolk Debate Club gives that tradition a venue: structured debates, motions sourced from local interest and global headlines, and a community that takes ideas seriously without taking themselves too seriously. New members welcome — including first-time debaters.
