Special thanks are extended to Rob Snow who made the long journey down from Chelmsford Speakers to deliver a truly Humorous Speech on “His Ordinary Life” as our target speaker.
Having received the following feedback from a seasoned Toastmaster “It was the smoothest and most professional Area contest I’ve ever been to!” it would be amiss of me if I didn’t thank all the Judges and Functionaries for their sterling efforts and give particular thanks to Rhian Pamphilon (Contest Chair) and Camilla Allwood (Chief Judge) for showing us how a contest should be run.
Clive will compete in the next round - The All London Finals on Saturday 24 April - to be held in West Kensington, London SW6.
