Spring Conference in Limerick
This year's international spring conference was a great weekend for the Speakers of Croydon. David Thompson was declared the new Govenor for District 71, with responsibility for the UK and Ireland until the Summer of 2005.
At the Council Meeting in Limerick, David gave some truly inspirational speeches, mostly improvised !! It was a great moment for toastmasters and especially for the Speakers of Croydon.
John Tomsky also gave a strong performance in the final of the international speech contest. Although it wasn't good enough to get a top three placing John will undoubtedly be back for more in years to come...
The 2004 Area Final
The Area 14 Contest saw club champions from all over Surrey and Kent battle against one another for a chance to win the next rounds of the International Speech and Evaluation contests.
David Gordon dazzled the audience with a newly improved version of 'One', the speech with which he won the club round, beating Kat Robertson from Kent Speakers in second place and Michael Watson from Epsom Speakers in third place.
