The St Johns team of newish member Gemma, President Nominee Anil and our 'resident techo' Wesley took the affirmative argument. The negative therefore being taken by Bernard Kendall, Roger Cole-Baker and Owen Williams for Auckland East.
The argument ranged mostly over the definition of the topic, and whether social media was just going to change over time, or die out altogether. The arguments were somewhat mixed and at times it was difficult to determine who was speaking for which team.
Considering the age difference between the teams it could be considered a member of the Auckland East team was on dangerous ground when using the word "decrepitude" in his argument! Adjudicator John Cornaga awarded the trophy to St. John's on a close but probably politically correct decision!
