New president is selected
LOUGHBOROUGH Charnwood Speakers Club continues to keep in touch via their Zoom meetings and had fun in the topics session which was organised by Nick Ajinkya.
He had a list of famous names numbered 1 to 12 and asked each speaker to pick a number. They were then asked to entertain the person to an evening at home with Nick. The only problem being that he does not like to cook so went out to fetch fish and chips whilst leaving you alone with his guest. There was James Bond, Marilyn Monroe, Superman, Count Dracula, Lady Gaga and many others.
It was also the time of year for the AGM. Plans were discussed for the next season which hopefully will start again in September.
The club usually have a stall outside John Storer House where they meet on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month to recruit new people to join them and also a stall on the market on one Saturday. It is hoped they will be able to continue this recruitment when lockdown has eased.
The election of officers took place with the current president standing down after three years in office and Sue York was unanimously voted in as the next club president.
Nick Ajinkya was nominated and accepted as education officer and with his long experience in communication will be an asset to new members learning to speak to an audience. The other officers all agreed to remain for a further year.
Members learn several ways of preparing and performing short speeches to the club which both entertain members and help speakers gain confidence in a friendly atmosphere.
