Humorous Speech 2020 Contest Winner

Can you spin a good yarn?

Speaking with humour is a great skill, and every year clubs across the District hold a humorous speech contest. There are three further rounds: area contests, division contests, and the district final. The criteria are those for any good speech. The additional task for the speakers is to give a speech with a message presented with humour and must be thematic in nature with an opening, body, and close, not a monologue or series of one-liners.
