Two new Areas for London Division B Toastmasters

Posted by Dorothea Stuart

The success of London Division B Toastmasters clubs means that we continue to expand.  Because of this we have not five but seven Areas in London this year.  Freddie Daniells worked hard with last year's Division B Council to put together a proposal to change our Areas - approved by the District 71 (UK and Ireland) Council meeting held at the Cotswold conference, May 2009.

Why?  Because some of the old Areas were getting too big and rather a lot for a (volunteer) Area Governor to manage. In addition we have more people completing Leadership Awards - taking a role such as Area Governor is a major step towards completing your Advanced Leader Silver.

The most immediate impact of the changes for clubs is that the groups for Area Contests will be different.

So...how are the new Areas made up?

Area 6	Cardinals	Corinthians	Olympians	Polish your Polish
Area 29	Athenians	Riverside	Trojans	West London
Area 31	Canary  Wharf	Citi Criers	Speakeasy @ CS	Thomson Reuters	WIBF
Area 33	Broadgate	Careerbuilders	MLP London Bridge	St Paul's	NZICA
Area 34	City of London	Holborn	LBS	Tube Talk
Area 45	Berkeley Square	Early Bird	Grosvenor Square	Whitehall
Area 47	London Communicators	Excalibur	Northern Lights	WIBF - City

The new Area Governors are already visiting their clubs- if you have any questions ask them when you see them!
