Celebrating Club Success
The year is racing onwards! We ended September on a great note, with 163 clubs completing their Club Success Plans. That’s a fantastic achievement, so well done to all our Club Officers!
Will all 163 clubs achieve Distinguished by the end of June? Let’s keep that momentum going, turn those plans into action, and make this a year of success for every club and every member.
A special mention goes to Hemel Speakers club who have already achieved 8 DCP goals. Congratulations.
100% Pathways Challenge
Can we get every District 91 club to 100% Pathways enrolment by the end of November? Let’s make it happen.
Pathways is all about breaking personal growth into bite-sized, achievable pieces.
So perhaps it really is good enough to eat! Go on, take a bite…
Contest Season Is Here
It is hard to believe we are almost at the end of October. Most, if not all, of the club contests are completed, same with Area contests and Division Contests are about to start with Division A and D kicking off on Saturday 24th October. Well done to all competitors, functionaries, judges and organisers. You have created great energy and excitement.
To hear the best of the best, register for the District Humorous and Table Topic Contest Finals on Saturday 21st November at University of Law, EC1.

Come and support your Division winners as they compete to become District 91 champions.
As well as two contests, a networking session, recognition, lunch and more, we have the absolute pleasure of hearing from the 2026 World Champion of Public Speaking, Dirceu Da Silver. One winner out of 150 countries, 13,800 clubs and 265,000 members. A keynote and workshop not to be missed.
And do remember to save Saturday and Sunday 8th and 9th May for the District International Speech and Evaluation Finals held during the District Conference. Details coming soon.
