Dear all
Just dropping you a line to highlight a few upcoming events at BISC and further afield....
20th January
The (now) infamous "Not the Speech Contest" will take place in Lichfield this year on Thursday 20th January. Details to follow for those who fancy having a crack at this very informal take on our speech contest.
N.B This meeting will take the place of our regular meeting planned for the fourth Wednesday in January so please put it in your diary and I will say more about it at the meeting next week.
9th February
The BISC annual speech contest - it comes around again! In time honoured tradition, the winner of last year's contest will be arranging the competition this year. Mercedes has the arrangements in hand and more information will be provided soon. Suffice to say, this is a great opportunity for those who wish, to polish up their speaking skills, put their creative hats on, throw away all watches (time pieces not permitted!) and have a crack at winning the BISC speech contest trophy.
26th February
The quarterly Anglia Council training day which will incorporate the next round of the speech contest is a great opportunity to meet up with members from other clubs. Please come along and support the BISC speech contest winner and see the fantastic comdedian Andy White speak. I first saw Andy speak when I was quite new to BISC and would recommend him to anyone wanting to know how to put humour into their speeches. The full programme is attached. If you would like to attend, drop Margaret a line at margaret.wellington@blueyonder.co.uk That's all the dates for the diary now. Hope you can make the meeting on Wednesday - see you then!
Best wishes
Lucy Dinsdale
President of Birmingham International Speakers Club
