Saturday, December 6th, 2014

On Wednesday 26th November the club enjoyed a visit to Bradford Speakers Club where there is always a warm welcome and some fine quality speaking.

On Thursday 4th December the club held the annual Topics Contest. Jocelyn Brooks chaired and asked members to speak for three minutes on topics based on phrases in modern usage such as “Nanny State” and “Estuary English”. Votes were cast by all present and the winner was Chris Clissitt with Jeff Denton runner up.

Chris and Jeff will represent the club at the Area Contests to be held in York on Sunday 1st February 2015.
