A Public Speaking Competition
INTRODUCTION TO 2006-2007 COMPETITION (10th Feb 2007)
Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland has for many years run public speaking
competitions for young people. Public speaking is an important life skill and is one that
Rotarians value. Rotarians are always delighted to celebrate the skills that young people
demonstrate.
Each year hundreds of young people take part in events that culminate in the regional
and RIBI finals when participants travel from throughout RIBI to take part. It is a wonderful
celebration of the achievement of those taking part.
In the Rotary year 2006 – 2007 and for the third time there will be two RIBI finals: one will
be the Intermediate competition for those aged 11 to 13 years old on August 31st 2006
and the other the Senior competition for those aged 14 to 17 years old on August 31st
2006.The 2006 RIBI Final will be held on Sunday 21st April 2007 at the Loughborough Endowed
Schools, Leicestershire, hosted by District 1070.
A number of schools in the Whitehaven area have been approached to get teams together for the regional competition.
The target date for completion for District 1190 competitions is 10th Feb 2007.
