"Deceptive" Victory for Carlisle Club

The annual Gavel Competition for Speakers Clubs in Border Area was held on Thursday 12th May at Morton Community Centre in Carlisle, the home of Carlisle and District SC. It took the form of the panel game "Would I Lie to You?" The Clubs from Annan, Carlisle, Cockermouth, Stranraer and West Coast took part; each entered a team of three players, except Cockermouth who entered two teams to make up three 'heats,' and in the finish the best liars were Carlisle & District. It must have been our honest faces that did it! It is a bit disturbing to find one has such a reprehensible talent, but a win after the lapse of quite a number of years was very welcome. Everyone enjoyed the evening, and this format proved very successful. Especial thanks are due to David Heaton of West Coast SC, the new President of Border Area, who put an immense amount of work into devising untrue but plausible claims for the contestants, to supplement their true but (but unlikely) stories.
