It takes a team to win a speech contest. This is the story of the winning team of Area W3 Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contests held on 18 August 2010.

“The Better Man” winning speech contestant met up with his Immediate Past President (IPP) on a weekend prior to the Area contest. The IPP, himself a former Area Contest Champion, provided valuable advice and mentoring to a relatively new Toastmaster who had only completed 7 CC speeches. On the night of the contest, our contestant was tense. His IPP was by his side, coaching him, motivating him up to the start of the contest.

And what a speech we were treated to. As the contestant explained to us the hilarious facts of why Superman is better than Batman, his IPP must have been proud and happy to hear the sound of laughter from the audience.

Our Evaluation Champion at first had no thoughts of being a contestant at our Area Contest. With the encouragement and support of her IPP, she agreed to take part and took half day leave to be at our Area Contest on time. She rose from her seat as her name was announced and presented her winning speech, with all eyes were on her, listening intently to her analysis and recommendations for our “Mid-life Crisis” test speaker.

Area W3 is proud to announce that our winning team consists of
