Through history, stories have been one of the most
important ways for humans to communicate. The
greatest speakers recognise this, and all tell a story or
stories in their speeches.
On March 5th, Andrew Brammer, DTM, will host, in
conjunction with Division B, a unique workshop on ‘How To
Make Our Speeches Come Alive with Stories’.
As a previous winner of the UK and Ireland Humorous
Speech contest, this event will involve, amuse and
entertain. This workshop is suited to people of all abilities
and is a wonderful learning opportunity for us all.

Hi members,

It’s competition time again … and this time City Speakers aim to do it right. We want to get the club prepared to win some honours.

Over the next month we will be selecting champion evaluators, table topics speakers and prepared speakers to represent the club at the Area Finals and beyond.

The club competitions will be organised as a two round occasion, so that the club winners will be doubly experienced before going on to Area Finals.

*** EVALUATION CONTEST ***

These will take place on Tuesday 5th February (next week !!!) and Tue 19th February. FOUR PLACES ONLY in each heat. First come, first served. Two evaluators from each heat will qualify for the final on 18th March.

Email me URGENTLY if you want to participate.

*** TABLE TOPICS CONTEST ***

4th March. On this evening we will be holding several table topics heats to select 4 finalists to go forward to the final on 18th March.

*** SPEECH CONTEST ***

Heats of up to 8 speakers on 4th March, selecting 3 finalists to repeat their speeches on 18th March. YOU CAN REPEAT A PREVIOUS SPEECH. Alternatively, you can try a brand new speech. If you have a speech to hand you think is a winning speech then email me. If you have won a Best Speech of the Evening award over the last year, then email me. If you want to recommend a good speech by another member that you’ve heard at a meeting, then email me. I want a full complement of 8 speeches in this heat. No excuses. You don’t even need to write a new speech. Just do it again, but better !

*** WHAT YOU NEED TO DO ***

Email me [John Campbell] now telling me which competition(s) you want to compete in. All paid up members will be expected to take part in at least one contest, or send me an excuse why not. I will chase each of you individually if I don’t hear from you.

Be excited, cos this year is going to be the year City Speakers win at the Area Finals.
