Stevenage Speakers invites you to a new event designed to develop the quality and range of your voice and get expert feedback while having fun. This time we have our guest speaker Andrew Bennett, who is going to share with us how to capitalize on our voice potential to express emotional color in our presentations.

Andrew Bennett is a DTM, FTCL, LTCL, ANEA, and FRSA. He has traveled the world as a professional classical singer and speaker, appearing at the world’s great festivals in Europe, Asia, and South America. As a qualified public speaking and voice coach, he has shared his vocal know-how with people of many cultures in varied contexts – conference centers, theaters, and recording studios.

As always, we will have a mix of prepared and improvised speeches, perhaps yours.

Come along, speak, have fun, get expert feedback, and enjoy our supportive environment, where speakers and leaders are made!

Many clubs experience a loss in membership at September renewals as existing members leave the club for lots of different reasons. This incentive rewards clubs which renew 80% or more of their membership base at 30th June 2021. Having a good base of experienced members is important to offer mentoring to new members and stability to the club. 

It’s a good idea to follow up with members who do not renew to help club officers to understand the reason for not renewing and to extend an invite to rejoin at a future stage. They may be happy to stay on the club’s email list with this in mind.

Good PR attracts new guests, invites discussion and improves the reputation of the Club and Toastmasters generally.

Many clubs experience a loss in membership at September renewals as existing members leave the club for lots of different reasons. Recruiting in the early months helps to maintain the membership based upon the number of members at 30 June.

Maintaining a healthy membership number (25+) gives the club a much better opportunity to hold quality meetings with enough members to avoid double roles. Quality club meetings attract new members. Healthy club growth is an important part of Club Success.
