'Who?' you might ask...well, next Thursday morning at 7.15 for 7.30am start, a new pre-charter club called Bank Speakers is hosting its first meeting. The club will be meeting at The Association of British Insurers, 51 Gresham Street, London EC2.
There are 23 paid members of the club but only one of them has experience of being in a Toastmasters club before - The President, Justin Ryan, is a CTM from his Club in New Zealand.
Justin is a member of the committee of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants. Initially it is likely that the bulk of its members are likely to come from this source. However, it is an open club and all are welcome to join.
What he particularly needs at the moment are experienced Toastmasters willing to support some of the early meetings, helping model how the roles should be done and the meeting run. His meeting dates are as follows:
22nd November 2007
6th December 2007
10th January 2008
24th January 2008
7th February 2008
21st February 2008
If you are an experienced Toastmaster who is willing to travel to the City to help get this club off the ground then we would be very grateful for your help. If you are able to help please let me know at freddiedaniells@gmail.com.
