South Burnett Toastmasters’ members took out several major awards at the Area 28 Speech Conference held at Wondai Diggers Club on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Area 28 consists of five clubs, including online groups as well as clubs in Gympie, Maryborough and the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

The Speech Conference included four competitions: Humorous, Table Topics, Evaluation and International.<\/p>\n

Competitors earned the right to take part in the Area competitions by winning their club’s annual speech contests earlier this year.<\/p>\n

As well, several Area awards were handed out.<\/p>\n

The “Toastmaster of the Year” trophy was presented to South Burnett’s immediate past president Trevor Stead by Area 26 Director Cassie McMullen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trevor also came third in the prestigious International competition, won the Humorous contest and came third in the Evaluation category.<\/p>\n

South Burnett member Marietta Wetzig won the Table Topics contest.<\/p>\n

The trophy for “Most Improved” was presented to South Burnett club member Ben Nicholson.<\/p>\n

The winner of the International Contest, Sandy Turner from the online Weblec club, will go on to represent Area 28 at the Central Division Conference in Gympie next March.<\/p>\n

Winners from this event will proceed to semi-finals and the chance to participate in the World Championship.<\/p>\n
