In releasing the names, President of the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College Literary and Debating Society, Sharina Laws has assured that St. Kitts has a very dynamic team.
She added that Melissa Bryant and Vailisia Carty have provided invaluable experience to the team as they participated in last year’s competition in which they both won ‘Best Speaker’ awards.
Last year’s Team St. Kitts reached the Finals. She further expressed her confidence in this year’s debaters who have so far exhibited exceptional debating skills.
All of the debaters and their staff sponsors are already on island. Last evening they attended a welcoming cocktail party hosted by the Minister of Education, the Hon. Sam Condor.
Supporters totaling over two hundred have already started to arrive. A packed schedule of themed parties and sight seeing tours have been organized. ~~Adz:Right~~
The first debate will take place this evening between Antigua and Anguilla debating the moot: “Popular Caribbean culture is the main contributor to the degradation of West Indian women.” Anguilla will propose this moot while the Antiguans will take the opposition side.
The winner of this debate will take on Team St. Kitts on Saturday night.
The 36th annual Leeward Islands Debating Competition will be held from 7 p.m. nightly at the Royal St. Kitts Hotel and Casino.
