Chris Clissitt was a late withdrawal from the Eastern District speech and evaluation contests on 5th March at the Bridge Inn Walshford owing to poor health.
With little opportunity to prepare, Jocelyn Brooks did a sterling job in the speech contest and came a close second to Tracy Wood of Bradford SC.
Lindsay Dutch competed in the evaluation contest but just missed out to Martin Bishop, another member of Bradford SC. A good day for Bradford who will have two competitors at the national finals at Gatwick on 21st – 23rd April.
All was not lost for Vale of York Area – Lindsay won the topics contest, and will also be in Gatwick representing eastern District on Friday 21st April.
