Hi everyone,

Firstly, the hype has now concluded. Thanks to everyone that took part - it was a really interesting and intense debate, which I hope you enjoyed. A new hype is in the pipeline, so stay tuned!

A roll call is currently being held - please head over and let me know you're still active in the MUN. It'll be held for a week, so there's plenty of time to take part. It will help us to know who isn't taking part so they can be removed.

Discussion Topics:



If you just fancy a chat, head over to the chat thread! Follow the MUN on Twitter as well.

Hi all

Hope your having a good weekend so far.

We've got a hype which has recently going on but with our recent drive to kerb inactivity, as a result, we've removed the representative for North Korea for inactivity. If anyone wishes to step up to the plate pretty sharpish to represent North Korea please let me & Birchington know as soon as possible. It would be great to have some arguing the views of North Korea in light of this Hype.

NOTE: I stress that the new representative should have experience of at least one month (possibly two) to represent this position.

Big thanks to Subbi for suggesting that we fill this position promptly.

On a different note, I'll make sure an update goes out over the next few days.

Stay active folks!

Best wishes
