12 Why choose us? 3 / Miles Tarrant Chess Club and Great Debate

Because Callywith was new at the time, I thought it would be really nice to get people involved in something that was separate to their studies and while there were a lot of activities and sports there was a lack of a cerebral gathering. The chess club I set up was very popular and I was very proud with how it went. I also took part in, and won, the regional heat of the Historical Association Great Debate and got to speak at Parliament, which was great and really put Callywith College on the map.
