RE: The English-Speaking Union – Herefordshire Branch FinalFriday 28th November 2008 They did perform excellently in a year where the standard reached a new high. The winning team and roles: Speaker: Sarah Johnson Questioner: Meggan Jarvis Chairperson: Cecily Pytel. Sarah spoke in defence of the statement “Euthanasia should not be legalised” and was awarded the best individual performance as judged by Cllr John Stone: last years winning team also included the outstanding individual award for Evie Howard. There were five other competing finalists – Fairfield, Wigmore, Bishops, Weobley and Minster College respectively: Fairfield were awarded the runners-up position. We now qualify for the Midland Regional Final at Cheltenham College on Saturday March 7th 2009. In last years event we came a creditable second to The Cotswold School with Nick Pellant gaining the Best Individual Performance award. The standard in the Regional Final is incredibly high – no Herefordshire school has ever won it in the thirteen year existence of the competition!
