You might like to know that Simon Bucknall, representing District 71 in the International Speech competition in Phoenix, USA, was placed second in the Interdistrict Speech Contest. Although, Simon did not make it through to the World Finals, Simon has done a fantastic job in representing District 71 on the world stage.
Well done Simon. As Pedro says later in his mail:
Simon has been an inspiration for many Toastmasters in Division B and throughout the District and what he has achieved is something that we can all be proud.
I think we can all agree with that. Not only has he inspired us through the quality of his speeches but taught many of us his tips and tricks through a series of workshops over the past year. I look forward, as I am sure we all do, to hearing what he has learned from his journey to the World Finals this time round.
