The four groups spoke outstandingly well, making sure that they were well-paced, clear and articulate too. Their efforts were richly rewarded with two awards on the evening: one for the best researched project, won by Will Robson, Charlie Dore, Ayaan Azizullah and Neil Majathia and one for the audience favourite, won by Philip Chilcote, Ajay Gill, Joseph Niblett and Aaron Thaker. These awards were very pleasing considering how much time and effort had been put in. However, all boys deserve credit, not just those who won acclaim, and all four groups could have won. All involved should feel proud of the extensive projects that they produced, and thanks must go to Surbiton High for their welcoming hosting of the event, and their girls for participating to such a high standard with our boys.
