There’s already been a flurry of activity across the District in 2017. From the mouths of members, it’s ‘are you entering the contests?’. There’s a definite buzz as clubs set contest dates and members prepare to enter. The articles from members this month reflect experiences of entering contests, even though they’d not been a member of Toastmasters all that long. Remember that you can support by offering to take a role at contests too. Articles on this will follow over the next couple of months. Keep your stories coming, share your experiences with fellow members.
The District 91 Autumn Conference is now taking bookings. Full details of the event have been published on the District 91 website.
This will be our first one day conference. It’s jam packed with workshops, a keynote, contest finals and our District Council Meeting. You’ll need to purchase a Daytime Ticket to attend. However remember that attending the District Council Meeting is FREE.
Once the day ends, the night begins. This is when dinner and dancing will take place. To attend, purchase an Evening Ticket.
The venue is the Double Tree by Hilton in Woking. If you wish to stay at the hotel, you book directly with them. Rates have been agreed, do mention when you’re booking that you’ll be attending the Conference.
Information has been shared on our Facebook page Toastmasters International UK & Ireland and on Twitter @ToastmastersUKI.

Do you want to develop you ability to use your speaking skills to train others?
Is training a skill you’d like to develop for yourself? Would you like more opportunity to share your knowledge and enthusiasm with those less experienced? Then, your Toastmasters club and Toastmasters more widely needs you!
The great thing about Toastmasters is that when you ask for help and support you receive it and so much more.
Helena Brewer PR Manager
I’ve been approaching members about writing articles for the newsletter and sharing experiences for our external PR activities. Even though we’re all part of a communications organisation, the written word is proving to be a new challenge. The response has been amazing, thank you.
