All experienced Toastmasters know that one of the most valuable skills we can learn is the art of storytelling. All the best speakers are strong storytellers.
Some may remember my review of the Harrogate conference last year where I mentioned a standout workshop by Andrew Brammer on the subject of storytelling.
Well - good news! On March 5th, Division B has persuaded Andrew to come to London to deliver a double length version of the same workshop. More time equals even more tips and points to help us become better storytellers. The session promises to be both amusing and educational. The event is open to all and both newer and more experienced members will get something out of the session. I can highly recommend it!
The workshop is to be held at Thomson Financial, 1 Mark Square, Leonard Street, London EC2A 4EG. A map to Thomson is here:
The doors will open at 6.15 for a prompt 6.45 start.
Given that this event is to be held on a company premises it is imperative that people register in advance. As per the Simon Bucknall workshop, you can register at:

There is an administration fee of £3 to help affray our costs.
A flyer for the event is here:
For those who don't know Andrew, he has been a Toastmaster for 10 years, and is a Distinguished Toastmaster (the highest award available in Toastmasters). In 2000, he won the UK and Ireland Humorous Speech Contest, and in 2004 he finished 3rd. He has also twice been a finalist in the UK and Ireland International Speech Contest, and has been an Area Contest winner nine times across both the Humorous & International contests. In 2003, he was District 71 Area Governor Of The Year.
He is also a former President of both Norwich Speakers Club & North Norfolk Speakers Club, and belongs to both clubs. He co-founded North Norfolk Speakers Club. Phew - that is quite some Toastmaster resume!
Both this and the Simon Bucknall workshops will be excellent evenings. We hope to see you there.
PS. If you see Iain Duthie, our Assistant Division Governor responsible for Training and Education, on your travels, make sure to say thank you to him. He been working like a Trojan (no, not one of those Trojans) behind the scenes to put both this and the Simon Bucknall workshops together.
