Area 59 (Div K) contest results!

From Katy Woolcott, Area 59 Governor

What an entertaining Humorous Speech and Table Topics Event we had last night!

It was great to see so many people from the different clubs in our Area 59 pulling together and supporting their contestants for the event, and even people attending from outside the area too.  Together we made it a great evening.   Especially thanks to David Marks, our contest chair of the evening (founding member of the Russian and English Speakers and currently Assistant Divisional Governor to Area B) who discharged his duties with charm, warmth and competence throughout the evening.  We also thank the Citi Criers Executive Committee and Club members for hosting the event in their elegant, lofty tower.

Well done to all the supporting functionaries, and the contestants.  The judges must have had a hard time with five top quality speeches to choose from, and excellent table topic responses in the room!  They were all winners for the effort and excellent delivery.

Congratulations are due to Steve Edun of Meridian Speakers who came 1st in the Humorous Speech competition. He had us all in stitches, if the laughter in the room is anything to go by. You will have to come to the Division K finals on 16 October to experience the fun!

Congratulations are also due to James Jeans of Speakers Corner who really showed us the art of an excellent table topic response.  Well structured, good content, responding well to the question, and closing with a punchy summary.

As Division K has only four Areas the 1st and 2nd place winners will compete on 16 October so Brett Downes will be joining Steve and James in the Division Finals for both contests.

The final results of the contest are:

Humorous Speech Contest

1st – Steve Edun

2nd – Brett Downes

3rd – William Hagerup

Table Topics Contest

1st – James Jeans

2nd – Brett Downes

3rd – Matthew Clark

I am looking forward to seeing you all at the Division Contest next week, 16 October at London Trustmasters, where we can all support our Area winners Steve, James and Brett. Please book your seat NOW! You must register with Jenny Taggart if you want to attend by 15 Oct at the latest. CLICK TO EMAIL
