The City’s football team may not be doing well but there were 2 wins today in Doncaster and they were both registered in the Division N Toastmasters competition by Doncaster Speakers member Andy Howell.
Andy came first in both the Evaluation competition and the International Speech competition.
Andy beat 6 other competitors in each event with competitors from across the north of England from the likes of Manchester, Leeds, Doncaster and Sheffield.
Now Andy gets to do it all again in the UK finals which take place in just over a month’s time in Liverpool over the 27th & 28th May 2023.
The UK final is the grand final for the Evaluation contest but the International Speech competition has one more round as the winner goes through to the World Final in Barbados.
Andy impressed the judges with his International Speech describing how he faces fear and does it anyway. His speech co-starred a Red Jelly baby which he has feared most of his life but during his speech he finally face the fear and ate it.
We’re back to club life this coming Monday where members practice speaking and leadership skills . To clarify, that’s 24th April with a 7pm start. Feel free to come along to the Regent Hotel in Doncaster and check things out – be there for 6.45pm to get settled before we get underway.
And a big incentive to come is that the Division N Competition winner will be doing a speech.
