From Florian Bay, Area 33 Director
Area 33 held its humorous speech and table topics contests on Thursday 24September 2015in St Botolph Church Aldgate. This beautiful venue blessed with history and amazing acoustics provided the ultimate environment for speakers and orators to shine and shine they all did!
In the humorous speech contest chaired by Jung Keun Kim, four speakers regaled the audience with humorous tales of all kinds. Ranging from Helen’s inner battle as the clocked ticked during her 30 last days as a twenty something. To Stephen’s quest for his dream accountant friendly wife at the wheel of a Volvo. To Paul’s perilous adventure in Rio de Janeiro where British concepts of health and safety need not apply! To find out about our winner's speech you'll have to come to the Division L contests on 17 October.
The table topics contest proved just as entertaining, with contestants replying in turn to the questions “If you could invent something what would it be and why?” David, Elaine, Monica and Leslie tackled the questions in very creative ways. Showing the blend of imagination and creativity that makes table topics so interesting!
Congratulations to our humorous speech contest winner Elaine McLoughlin, 2nd Place Paul Lau.
and to table topics contest winner Monica Liljeroth, 2nd place Elaine McLoughlin
We wish Elaine and Monica the best of luck as they’ll represent our Area at the Division L contests on Saturday 17October at London Business School.
