This is the user page for Martin Pollard.

I set up this wiki while serving on the Executive Committee of the World Schools Debating Championships, from 2006 to 2008. Much of the content is based on contributions from Asher Weill, Trevor Sather, Claire Ryan, Chris Erskine and others.

I've attended every World Championships since 2002 - most as a team manager and adjudicator. I convened the tournament in Wales in 2006, and I'm Wales's representative at the World Schools Debating Council.

In working life, I'm Deputy Director of the Welsh Centre for International Affairs. This includes managing the Wales Schools Debating Championships and other work delivered under the WCIA's schools programme, CEWC-Cymru.
