From Seema Menon, Area 61 Director
Saturday 1 October was the date of the Area L61 Humorous Speech and Table Topics contests. It was an afternoon lots of laughter and camaraderie as we moved from the club to area level of the contests.
Many things were shared, even what one contestant still thought about John Travolta after all these years and much was learned about the Table Topics contestants who told us what they would do with the second of three wishes that they were granted.
All six competitors in each contest made both contests worth winning such was the high standard.
The Humorous Speech contest was between Mopani Mkandwire, Sofia Geraghty, Gill Ornstein, Warren Shen, Amapro Villamil and Steffy Samuel. First, second and third were Mopani, Sofia and Gill respectively.
The Table Topics contest was keenly fought with six challengers: Angela Lansbury, David Phelops, Pam Attfield, Thulasi Arunthavanathan, Steffy Samuel and Andrew Kiely. First ,second and third were Angela, David and Pam.

We are very pleased to see Mopani and Warren and Angela and David go through to the Division Contests which are being held at the London Business School on Saturday 15 October 2016.
