Last night, Oathall triumphed at the Youth Speaks competition with both the senior and Intermediate teams beating teams from Ardingly college.
The stage was set. The water glasses were filled. The teams had been practising for weeks. The chairperson stood up and proceedings began. First up were the Intermediate teams. Ben White (Chairperson), Joshua Lade (Speaker) and Dan Blain (Vote of Thanks), aided by Miss Slade, took to the floor with a well crafted presentation about the value of enrichment activities. The team were impressive in their time keeping and attention to detail; Josh deftly answered a question from the audience. The other teams from Ardingly Prep School were not easy to beat, they also had superb presentations, however the passion for the farm shone through and the team won the overall performance, with Joshua winning best speaker.
