Excalibur Open Night – Wednesday 26^th October

We know that Excalibur is a club where members focus on the Advanced Manuals and so much more but we discovered earlier this year that many other Toastmasters did not.  Being the only club in D91 with that focus we decided to hold an open night to show case what we do and our unique meeting format.  With our mission this year to be a “Club of Excellence” and a desire for quality evaluations, stretched table topics and effective introductions, we wanted to attract visitors to experience for themselves the benefits of a club like Excalibur and also to their home clubs should they decide to join.  We have contacted 30 clubs, via their Presidents, put an article in The London Speaker and generally promoted the event.   A great agenda has been lined up with members new and old so do come along to support the event.  If you are planning on bringing someone along please send an email with their names as nos: are limited.  excaliburspeakers@gmail.com
