2009 Speaking Year Starts – Pizza and a Speaking Competition!

Hi y’all.  (sorry, thought that might sound fairly relaxed after the break!).

First Rostrum Speaking Club meeting of the year is next Wednesday (4th February 2009) at the Indooroopilly Library meeting rooms.  Jutta and I thought we would start the year with a fairly relaxed and simple, yet fun, activity of a Pizza Impromptu Speaking Competition.

Essentially – we’ll order in pizza and have an impromptu speaking competition (3 minutes preparation), with senior & junior divisions, winner takes all (there will be prizes).  Please RSVP and let us know whether you’re able to attend, whether you’re able to bring a friend, and what topping you’d like.  The club is paying for pizza – non-financial members can look guilty while they munch .

This year our speaking is going to run in a six-weekly cycle:

1. Week 1:  Fun activity, little preparation involved.  These would be good nights to bring people along to introduce them to Rostrum a bit – although any night’s a good night for a guest.
2. Week 2:  Themed Speech Topics
3. Week 3:  Alphabet Soup topics (e.g. ‘Eggnog, Excellent, & Egalitarian’ – no that isn’t one of them).
4. Week 4:  Themed Speech Topics
5. Week 5:  Training Night!
6. Week 6:  PDP Speeches for All

And then back to week 1.

Please RSVP.  Your  Speaking Year – and Pizza – awaits.  All guests welcome – see the flyer attached.

Thanks:  Micheal Axelsen
