Laughing with the FunnyBones

On Saturday January 18 2025, three contestants were acclaimed winners of the BattleField of the FunnyBones. The audience laughed and clapped as ten contestants shared their funny stories on a wide range of topics, such as: the value of participating in a contest, solving problems, the dangers of going to a doctor and knowing when to Run!!!

After an afternoon of laughter, it was the audience's turn. They were asked to vote for their top three favourites on their smart phones using Menti.com. Marvin, Molly and our District Director, Daisy, guided the technologically impaired and finally the results were in!

The top warriors were:
1st:     Kuda S. with his speech "Run!!!"
2nd:    Jeff K. with his speech "Ignorance is Bliss"
3rd:     Dave D. with his speech "Problem Solved"

Congratulations to all the contestants, including our own Jeff and Jey, and to the organizers of this highly entertaining event. 👏😊

While we waited for results, Nandini spoke about the Circle of Gold role in the upcoming contest season. She invited other members of the COG team, Laura and Darlene, to share their experience and a few of the contestants to speak about the value for them. We were excited to hear that most of the contestants and the audience members have been involved in COG in the past!
