The Rotary clubs of Banbury Cherwell and Chipping Norton recently held their Youth Speaks competition, kindly hosted by Bloxham School. Eight teams of three from local schools took part in the annual event.
Warriner School won the Intermediate Cup and Chipping Norton School the Senior trophy. The two teams go on to take part in the next stage of this national competition in February 2010.
Rotarian Mike Bonnick, chairman of the judges said “as usual for this annual heat of the competition, the teams had obviously put a huge amount of effort into their preparation, which showed in the consistently high quality of each presentation. All in all, a wonderful evening of 'Youth Speaks', thanks to team members who were a credit to their schools and above all, to themselves”.
