AREA 6 HUMOROUS & TABLE TOPICS CONTEST – SATURDAY 10th OCTOBER 2015


CONCORD WEST 2015 HUMOROUS & TABLE TOPICS CONTEST

Concord West held their Annual Club Humorous & Table topics Contest on Tuesday 8th September.

Club President Bernard and Vice President Education Kelly are to be congratulated on running an extremely well organised and well attended Club Contest.

Bernard stepped in to fill the role of Contest Chair after the belated apology from Area 6 Director Katherine following a family bereavement. 

They were exceptionally well supported by Toastmaster Lyndal who conducted a text book Contest and Region Adviser, Philip who stepped in as Chief Judge as well as Jake who took on the role as S@A in a slightly different way to his normal duties.

The Competitors in the Speech Contest were Glen and Daniel. 
Glen’s speech title was: “Village Life”.
Daniel’s speech title was: “My Holidays as a Child”.

In the Table Topics Contest the subject was: “If you could teach any subject, what would it be and why?”

The Competitors were:
Daniel, Nick and Glen.

At the end of the Contest the Judges results were tallied and Club President Bernard presented the following Awards:

Table Topics:

  • Daniel in Third Place
  • Nick in Second Place and 
  • Glen in First Place and will go on to represent Concord West at the Area 6 Contest.

Humorous Speech Contest:

  • Daniel Second Place and Runner Up
  • Glen First Place and will go on to represent Concord West at the Area 6 Contest in yet another ‘double-header for Concord West in recent years.

As part of the Concord West tradition the Winner of the Club Humorous Contest, Glen was also presented with the Tony Spragg Memorial Trophy in honour of a fondly remembered and very humorous past member of our Club who sadly lost his battle with cancer while still a member of Concord West Toastmasters.

Congratulations to all our Contestants.

The opportunity is there to now support Glen as he represents Concord West at the upcoming Area 6 Contest on 10th October at Croydon Park Club.
