Our Club meeting on 18th November was Competition Night: our annual Speech and Evaluation competitions were held, with four entrants in each. In a first for the Club, it was a family affair - the Speech competition was won by Richard Hunt, and the Evaluation by his wife Margaret. The Runner-up in both competitions was our Club President Susan Trafford. It was a first for Richard too; he only joined the Club in 2009 after being, as he would claim, "the most experienced non-member of ASC," as he had supported Margaret, one of the founder members, from the beginning. It is also the first actual trophy he has ever won in his life!
Many thanks to our Judges, Frank Grace of West Coast Speakers Club together with Liz McDonald and Ian Hodgson of Annan Speakers Club - also to Mairi Mole of Annan SC, Border Area President, who kindly gave the speech for the Evaluation competition.
We are grateful, too, to our guests who helped to swell the audience and create a lively and encouraging atmosphere.
The winners will go on to compete at the Border Area Conference to be held in Carlisle on Sunday 30th January 2011.
A Family Affair!

Morton Community Centre proved to be a very comfortable venue and the Area members who had travelled from all around the Solway enjoyed an entertaining and informative day. The quality of the contestants went to show why Border Area done so well at the next - District - level of the ASC competitions over the years.
