'Room 101', Thursday 5th April

Our meeting on Thursday 5th April was as guests of Cockermouth Speakers Club at Hundith Hill Hotel. The evening was based on the TV show 'Room 101' and speakers, taken alternately from both clubs, had about three minutes each to persuade the audience to support their case for consigning somebody or some item to the outer darkness of Room 101. The selected 'victims' were many, varied and ingeniously chosen and there then followed questions and a lot of humorous debate from the audience before a vote Yes or No.

This was a fun social event rather than a competition, and the members of both clubs agreed that it had been very enjoyable and worth repeating in the future. Many thanks to Cockermouth Speakers for devising the format.
