Team Speaking Competition

Sunday 4th November saw the District team speaking competition. 5 teams from around the District competed in what was to prove a very close competition. Let me say now that we did not win... and let me say now that not winning is not important. The reason for that is that our team members all gave speeches that were 'personal bests'. The top teams were so close that only a point or two separated them. But I know that our team members felt a real buzz when they had finished speaking. It was great that the other teams excelled as well. The standard was higher than previous years by some measure. We welcomed some familiar faces, and plenty of new speakers. Such was the atmosphere, that new speakers were not intimidated but instead lifted their game. There were opportunities for all levels of speaker, interesting and often amusing speeches and the afternoon was a total success. Congratulations to the winning team from West Kent, and to the winner of the individual cup. Most of all though, congratulations to all our club members who literally shone. We remain the strongest club overall in the district, we encourage new members at all levels and we have a great deal of fun. Come along and find out - 2nd and 4th Mondays.
