share in the learning and excitement:   4 Highlights:

1) Public speaker and Local Actor Chris Birch will give tips on
how to give an impromptu speech –
(i.e.  when  someone  gives  you a topic and you have to speak on the
topic straight away for 3 minutes.)

2) Judith Allinson will run a 20 minute workshop on
“Ways to attract new members to the group”

3) A new club member (a young engineer) will give a
6  minute  speech  –  to  be  analysed and evaluated by an experienced
member   –  so we can all see the good things he did – and  learn ways
it could be improved.

4) There will be a
“Topics  Session” – Its’ fun – it is a bit like “Just a minute” on the
radio.   in  which  four members of the club are given topics on which
to give  an impromptu speech We shall  see if they have followed Chris
Birch’s advice.
