Carlisle & District Speakers Club were the hosts of the annual Conference of Border Area of the Association of Speakers Clubs, on Sunday 27th January at Morton Community Centre, Wigton Road, Carlisle. All five Clubs in Border Area - Annan, Carlisle & District, Cockermouth, Stranraer and West Coast - took part in the Area Annual General Meeting, at which National President of the Association Graham McLachlan and North West District President Margaret Robertson were our honoured guests.
Area President Susan Trafford, of Carlisle & District SC, was re-elected for a second year, and David Heaton of West Coast SC was elected Vice-President.
As the Area Secretary Jess Sinclair and Treasurer Richard Hunt, both of Carlisle & District SC, were willing to continue serving they were reappointed to those roles.
After the A.G.M. representatives from each of the Clubs competed in the three disciplines of Speech, Evaluation and Topics. The Speech winner was Wendy Brown of Cockermouth, with Runner-up Jess Longrigg of West Coast. Evaluation was won by Margaret Hunt of Carlisle & District, with Runner-up Davidson Bell of Cockermouth, and the Topics winner was David Preshaw of West Coast, with Runner-up Robert Higgins of Stranraer.
