From August 2009 onwards we will have a number of special events happening in London, including the Table Topics and Humorous Speech contests.
August special event: A workshop on how to start a new Toastmasters club. There's huge scope for expanding our network of clubs in London. If you're interested in finding out how to go about setting up a club come along on Thursday 20th August 2009 and learn from other Toastmasters who have been there, done it and got the t-shirt. Venue: The Cheshire Cheese, Little Essex Street, London, WC2R 3LD (near Temple underground station). Time: 7pm-9pm. Let Steve Maguire know if you are interested in coming along (email link on right above). We'll post more info in the near future.
September special event: Improvisation and Humour Workshop with John Cremer and his Maydays. We are delighted to have John running this workshop for us. Full details will be published with info on how to book by the end of next week.
September club contests: The dates for Club Contests, and Area Contests are gradually being added to the calendar that you will find at the top of this page. Club contests will start in September so please keep your eye on the calendar. You'll learn alot from visiting contests at other clubs.
October Area Contests: Area Contests will take place during the first two weeks of October. Dates will be published when they are all finalised. With 7 Areas we want to avoid clashing dates!
The London Division B Finals for the Table Topics and Humorous Speech Contests will be on Wednesday 21st October 2009. More information will be posted soon. For the moment please put the date in your diary!
PS remember that the UK & Ireland District 71 contest finals take place as part of the biannual District Conference. This Autumn's White Rose Conference is: weekend of 13-15th November in York. Find out more here.
