It’s that time of year again, folks.  If you’ve done a remotely funny speech in the past while, or would like to try your hand at one, this is your chance.  All members are eligible to enter, and the winner will go on to compete at the area level. There will be a Table Topics contest on the same night, and all members present will be encouraged to participate.  It’s good fun and good practice.  City of London Toastmasters Club

It’s worth finding a club that suits you, so shop

Bill Moss also competed in the speech contest, alongside Anthony Miller & Anthony Warden.  Winning out over strong competition, Bill will be representing our club at the area contest on the 14th of April.

Also, a couple of meetings ago we held the first heats of an Evaluation Competition.  If memory serves, Marc Johnson, Bill Moss, Zac Ghadially, and [another] competed.  Zac and Bill will be arm-wrestling for the prize at our next meeting on the 18th.
