THREE schoolgirls are hoping to talk their way into the national final of a speaking contest.
The Westhoughton High School trio were successful in the first two rounds of the Rotary Youth Speaks competition and will now take part in the regional heats in Northwich.
Each team includes three members who fill certain roles. Nicola Holding will be the chair, Francesca Leigh the speaker and Hannah Roberts will deliver the vote of thanks.
The subject of their speech will be The Future is Female, which could be a good omen.
TALKING HEADS: Francesca Leigh, Hannah Roberts and Nicola Holding are pictured with Harold Halliwell, Westhoughton Rotary President, and Harry Pickles, Rotary District Governor.
