Summer supper
A SUMMER supper gave Loughborough Charnwood
Speakers’ Club members an opportunity to practice after dinner toasts. Arthur Murray gave a toast to the association which was replied to by Eric Baker.
A toast to the guests was given by James Gibson and the reply on behalf of the guests by Sue York.
Anyone who attends a formal dinner may be called upon to deliver a speech of this kind so it’s a useful exercise to practice.
The club will be having a break for the summer but will meet again in September for the new season.

We hope to meet and greet new people who would like to practice their speaking skills in a friendly and helpful environment.
You could be the incoming president or treasurer of a club or association who needs a bit of encouragement or someone who needs to make presentations in the workplace or give a speech a wedding.
There are many occasions where a bit more confidence would be a helpful asset. We’ve also helped students towards the end of their studies when presenting themselves and their work which makes a more confident interview.
Speakers clubs belong to a national association so there are clubs all over the country. Opportunities to get involved in area and district meetings give breadth to the experience and members who enter the competitions can achieve success by getting to the National Finals.
