The annual Great Debate will be held in the Warkworth Town Hall on October 14, with Warkworth Toastmasters taking on teams from Warkworth Lions/Rotary and Warkworth Police.

Toastmasters will take the affirmative in the first moot, The World is Not PC Enough, against Lions and Rotary, and again in the second moot, when they debate Manners Are Not Sexy Anymore with police.

Tickets are $35 and are available from Mahurangi Matters, Harts Pharmacy, Warkworth Information Centre and Tui House.

The Great Debate is sponsored by Barfoot & Thompson Warkworth and is a fundraiser for Warkworth/Wellsford Hospice.

Pictured are Sergeant Mark Stallworthy and debate organiser Murray Chapman at the toss to decide which side of the moot each team would argue.
