Talking about "open minds" has landed a Kidderminster girl runner-up spot in a regional public speaking contest.
Beth Dunn, a pupil at Holy Trinity RC School, spoke eloquently on the topic "Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open" at the event, organised by the North Warwickshire Circle of the Catenian Association, an organisation which aims to advance the interests of young Catholics.
The 17-year-old, who lives at Wolverley, was among 11 finalists who spoke at the event in Solihull.
