The Border Area Competitions took place at the Area Conference held in Carlisle on 31st January.
It
is very pleasing to report that the winner of the Speech Competition
was our own Cockermouth Speaker Frances Burditt, she gave an excellent
speech entitled ‘So you think you speak English’. The speech was well
received by the audience, with Frances showing some of the origins of
words we use today, she was able to include a good deal of humour.
