Abingdon today hosted the Oxfordshire round of the English Speaking Union Public Speaking competition. We entered two teams and welcomed around 30 visiting competitors, judges, parents/ teachers, and members of the ESU.
Both our teams acquitted themselves well and Abingdon boys won both the Best Speaker prize (Michael Biccaregui) and Best Questionner prize (Thomas Munro), this particularly impressive as, being 4th formers, they were a year younger than the competitors from other schools. We were pipped at the post for best overall team by the team from Radley College but were close runners up.
