On 25th June some 50 Junior delegates including 15 from Friends' School Lisburn attended the annual Junior MUN conference held in the Whitla Hall, MCB. They aimed to find resolutions to the World Food crisis and considered the Future of the Olympics as well as diplomatically handling an Emergency Issue involving the abduction of the Euro 2008 star footballers by the little known FAF (Feminists Against Football).

A high level of debate and smooth running was due to the efforts of Mr Woods and a fabulous group of Form 4 organisers including, Charlotte Higgins, Edward Nickell, Siobhan Austin, Vicky Malinova, Victoria Ward Cosima Stewart and Yixi Bi.

Senior MUNers Aimee Muirhead (Secretary General), Nicola Wright (Head of Administration), Brendan McFall( Emergency Issue Organiser) and Lauren Crowe(Chair and Bridesmaid) assisted and looked on in amazement at the talent from MCB and FSL displayed in debate, administration, sound and vision as well as the ever impressive Mr James Currie and that impressive leather jacket on security detail!!

If the real UN needs diplomats, then I know where to find them- ready and resolved!!

The Senior MCBMUN XI will take place between the 24-26th October.
