Young speakers in Minehead impressed audiences in the first round of a national public speaking competition.
Five teams of three took part in the Rotary Youth Speaks contest, hosted by the Rotary Club of Minehead and held at West Somerset College on Wednesday, January 14 and Thursday, January 15.
The event invites young people aged 11 to 17 to develop public speaking skills by discussing a topic of their choice.
Each participating Rotary Club is able to send one team in each of the categories, intermediate and senior, to the district round.
The standards set by participants was described as "impressive", and selected teams will now advance to the district round, which will be held at Taunton School on Saturday, February 28.
The Rotary Club of Minehead extended its thanks to all participants and to West Somerset College for allowing the competition to take place.
