Regular Meeting report for 11 February 2015

This month, club president Cat opened the meeting talking about the power of Just Do It - inspired by a speech that she had heard at another Toastmasters club that morning. She challenged the audience to just do it when it came to next month's International Speech and Evaluation contests at the club (Wednesday, 11th March) - a fantastic opportunity to get more stage time!

Cat then passed the meeting's proceedings on to Simon as Toastmaster of the evening, who filled the room with love in the air as his theme for the Valentine's meeting.

President's Newsletter, February 2015 - Toastmasters treats

Dear Friends,

Where did January go to? Whilst we are already a 12th of the way through 2015, at least it brings us a step closer to our next meeting of Excalibur Speakers!

Iris Murdoch said, "One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats". That's just how I feel about Toastmasters, don't you? Our lives are continually touched by the gift of being given a supportive, open forum to speak, the care and attention of effective evaluations, and gathering together with like-minded people on a regular basis. 

If you are looking for your next happiness fix, please sign up online for our next meeting! Roles and speech slots are available to Excalibur members on easySpeak and we would also love for all members and guests to confirm their attendance using meetup.

There are *lots* of opportunities to spread a little happiness!

Also, looking ahead to more happiness-inducing small treats, you could compete in the upcoming International Speech or Evaluations contests or you could get involved with facilitating the contest night, as Contest Chair, Judge or functionary. Please get in touch with Karthik if you are able to participate.
