So you think you are ok at this Public Speaking lark, eh? Well here is a chance for you to put the Public back into Public Speaking!
Dave Brooks, Area 31 Governor, is arranging this years first trip to Speakers Corner on the 29th June. All Toastmasters are welcome. Feel free to bring friends and family too.
The main event will be a Table Topics session held in front of the general public. This should last for around one and an half hours depending on your stamina. The event is going to kick off at 1pm and everyone will meet at the corner.
Weather permitting, it will be followed by a picnic in the park. Please bring along a bottle or two of whatever it is that you enjoy and some food if you are hungry. Suggestions for games will, I am sure, be welcome. Weather not permitting a small delegation is bound to find its way to a local hostelry.
Marble Arch is the nearest tube and you can see where to meet on the map below.
A flyer for the event is available here:

Those who came last year to one of the two Speakers Corner events will remember how much fun these days are. They will also recall that the event is a massive change from speaking at our clubs. The general public has yet to learn the finer points of 'providing a supportive environment'! It is a great fun challenge none the less.

This will also be the last get together of this Toastmasters year so will be a fun way for you all to see out the old before bringing in the new!
If you are interested in coming along, make sure to get your President let your Area Governor or Dave know.
Hope we see you then.
