SoF Speech Contest results for the 2011/12 season

Club Contests - Felixstowe

The contests for Topics and Evaluation were held this year on the 15th November 2011.

The procedings for for the evening were handled very ably by Chairman, Mike Saucede.

Evaluation Contest

The target speech for the Evaluation contest was called 'Is the joke on you?' and was delivered for us by Jean Weston as a B8 Humour assignment. This was a very insightful speech looking at life from birth till old age and clearly an empathic message that was shared by all the audience.

There were three entrants for the contest - Debbie Wargate, Keith Dickerson and Trevor White.

The winner, Keith Dickerson, was judged to have given the best advice, by example, to the speaker on how best to improve the speech.

Topics Contest

The title for Topics contest was 'Salt, Sea and Sand', a very alliterative title.

Five contestants entered the topics contest, including one of our very recent members, Steven Tuthill.

Everybody had a quite different on what Salt, Sea and Sand meant to them. The topic was chosen to be able to be interpreted in a number of ways.

After much deliberation the judges eventually decided on a winner, having chosen Jean Weston.

Runner-up was Trevor White

Many thanks to our judges for the evening, Tony Gould and James McGinty.
