There was more than an element of politics on show when I was one of the judges at the Mayor’s public speaking competition at the Town Hall which saw teams from Chatsmore, Davison’s, Worthing High School and Durrington High pit their debating skills against each other.
Topics included the merits of single sex schools, votes at 16 and taxing junk food and the standard was very impressive with Davison’s eventually emerging victorious.
This was a great initiative by Mayor Alex Harman, who will be standing down shortly after a very successful year as England’s youngest mayor, and a great advert for how contrary to popular belief we start them young in Worthing.
