This annual National Rotary Competition encourages young people to polish their public speaking skills, together with their abilities to put together persuasive arguments.
Teams of 3 (Years 7 - 9, 12 -14yr olds) from secondary schools around the area compete against each other. Expert judges listen carefully to the arguements put forward and award the prizes.
The winning team will go on to the District competition, from where winners go forward to Regional and National finals, sponsored by the club.
