The Evaluation Contest
David Barton
Ian Pickens delivered the Test Speech. With his pillow at the beginning of his speech he looked in danger of falling asleep. Amazingly, after he had urged us to do something discrimination in our society and in the world, he ended the speech by actually laying his pillow on the floor, lying down and falling asleep! Fortunatley, he woke up quickly when the applause broke out.
The Judges conferred, led by Chief Judge Charles Fisher, and at the end of the evening came the results
First was David Barton from Stirling.
Second was Gay McNamara from Sandgropers
The International Contest
Gawain Simpson
