‘Liberate men, make them wear skirts’ will be the opening moot at the annual Kowhai Festival Great Debate in the Warkworth Town Hall on Friday evening, November 3.
A joint Rotary and Lions team of Joe Koppens, Rick Middleton and Peter Henderson will take the negative, while a Warkworth Toastmasters team of Sandy Gordon, Lisa Endersby and Darryl Soljan will take the affirmative.
The second moot – ‘Brutal honesty is the best policy’ – will see a celebrity team of Allison Roe, Hayley Holt and Brent Harbour take the affirmative, against Toastmasters Steve Reynolds, Peter McCutcheon and Murray Chapman.
Keeping order again this year as MC and judge will be Warkworth Wellsford Hospice communications coordinator Lesley Ingham.
Doors open at 6.30pm, with the first debate starting at 7pm. Tickets $35, available from Hospice House in Woodcocks Road, Hart Pharmacy and Mahurangi Matters in Neville Street. Limited door sales available.
