Croydon Communicators blog update


There has been a whirlwind of activity at Croydon Communicators over the last couple of months but we are back with regular blog posts to let you know what’s been happening and to inform you of upcoming events.  If you haven’t been to a meeting for a while, you are missing out, so make sure you come along to our next meeting!
 
Croydon Communicators celebrates 8 years of success!
At the end of September, Croydon Communicators were delighted to celebrate 8 years of existence and we marked the occasion by holding a special meeting to which we invited all of our founding members and past Presidents who all helped to make Croydon Communicators the successful, thriving club that it is today.  We had a night packed to the brim with inspiring speeches by our past Presidents and founding members and a hilarious Table Topics session about Fifi, the pampered dog who was seeking a life of adventure.

Humorous Speech & Table Topics Contest Finals/ Boadicea Conference
The Humorous Speech and Table Topics Contest Semi-Finals and Finals were held at the Boadicea Conference at the Crowne Plaza, Colchester over the weekend of 8 & 10 November.  A few of us from Croydon Communicators went along and were greatly inspired by all the speeches and table topics that were delivered to an extremely high standard.  We also got to attend some amazing workshops that were being held over the course of the weekend and we left with lots of useful advice and tips we can apply ourselves and share with others.  We highly recommend you try to attend the Toastmasters conferences, usually held twice each year, there is so much you can learn at these conferences and you get to meet other Toastmasters too which is fantastic.  Congratulations to the winners and well done to all who participated in the contest!

Last week our Club President sent out an invitation by email to our annual end of year celebration dinner.  Have you RSVP’d yet?  A google form was sent out for you to respond as to whether or not you will be attending and to select your menu options – please complete this as soon as possible so we can finalise catering arrangements.  Also, remember that payment is due by 28th November, our next club meeting.  Our Vice President for Education, Aarthi, is working very hard to make sure we all have a great evening, so make sure you’re all there to celebrate a great year at Croydon Communicators!

Our next club meeting will be on Thursday 28th November at 18:45.  It will be our second last meeting of the year!  Come along and be inspired!
