Autumn Competition Results

Our resident 'CTM' from Mauritius, Satyen Deepchand, surprised everyone, including himself by excelling in the humourous speech competion and went on to represent our club in the area competition in Greenwich. Here he was admirably supported by David Langworthy who was the club representative in the table topics competion.
