Our Club's annual Competition Night was at Morton Community Centre, Wigton Road, Carlisle. Six members took part in the Speech competition and three in Evaluation, where they successively evaluated a speech given by our Guest Speaker David Preshaw of West Coast Speakers Club.
The winner of the Speech competition was Susan Trafford, whose speech was titled 'Anomalies,' and the runner-up was Jill Simpson, speaking about 'A Perfect Loaf.' Margaret Hunt was the Evaluation winner.
Many thanks are due to Chief Judge Peter Hodgson of Cockermouth Speakers Club, assisted by Cathie Forbes and Esme Forbes of Annan SC, and to our Education Director John Barrie for all his hard work in organising and chairing the event. Peter was very complimentary about the high standard of the entries, and John pointed out that the majority were recent recruits to the Club, so still at an early stage of their development as speakers.
The winners will now progress to the Association of Speakers Clubs Border Area competitions to be held on Sunday 27th January 2013, again at Morton Community Centre, where the five clubs in the Area will compete to send Area representatives to North West District in the spring.
