“You should never trust anyone over the age of 30”
Wordfest Debaters
Participants in last week’s Word-Fest debate, from left, Kip Clere, Maria Polglase, Hans Stoffregen, Jan Stark, Millie Eggers and Hamish McDonald. Kip, Millie and Hamish argued that “you should never trust anyone over 30” in the face of some vigorous negating by Maria, Hans and Jan.
The event, which was held in the library, drew a crowd of about 60 and, surprisingly, ended in a tie. Audience members were delighted and amused by the dazzling sophistry of the speakers and it seems that debating may take off again in the Bay.
