Last night we had a great turnout for our first ever Humorous Speech and Table Topics contest, and a strong field of contestants.
Nazia Soon, Craig Reid, Ratan Lele and Glen Long competed in the humorous speech category with prepared speeches covering topics as diverse as the differences between men and women, procrastination, the battle to get a “six pack” and a “rebooting” a popular children’s story.
In the table topics category our competitors were Glen Long, Craig Reid, Femi Asaolu, Ratan Lele, Henry Playfoot, Rekha Wadhwani and Marta Costas. They were each invited by Contest Chair (and part-time Fairy Godmother!) Liz Hobbs to tell us all what they would choose if granted one magical wish.
It was a very close run contest, but when all the ballots were in, the results were as follows:
Humorous Speech
First place: Glen Long. Second place: Ratan Lele
Table Topics
First place: Glen Long. Second place: Henry Playfoot, Third place: Rekha Wadhwani
Many thanks to those members from other clubs who helped out as judges and ballot counters.
