President's Dinner 2022
The SLT has received some feedback that the cost of attending the Team Speaking Competition and President’s Dinner event is felt to be prohibitive when taking account of travel and accommodation costs.
It is important to the SLT that the event is as inclusive as possible and we do strive to keep costs to a minimum wherever this is within our control.
In order to assist as many members as possible to attend, and particularly to take part in the Team Speaking competition we have decided to offer tickets for the daytime only. You can enjoy lunch, networking with other members and the Team Speaking contest (whether as a participant or a spectator) for a reduced price of £29 per person. We would anticipate that the day would finish by 6pm at the latest to enable members to travel home.
Of course, if you would like to join us for the full event, the President’s Dinner, then we would love to see you and tickets are still available, priced at £51 per person.
BOOK NOW!
Finally, we do still need some more entrants for the Team Speaking Competition – there is still time to get together your team of 4! You could be in the same club or area or even just people you have got to know online or through the Facebook group – there are no geographical restrictions!
The event’s aim is to demonstrate the power of effective speaking and the ability to engage, entertain and hold an audience’s interest. The audience will decide which team wins the event.
One team member will act as Chairperson and will give the introduction, links between each speaker and conclude the team’s presentation.
All teams will speak to the same three words. The words must be taken in order and the speaker must mention the word at least once (but more is probably best!).
The target time for each team's presentation is 15 minutes with an allowance of one minute either way.
This year the three words are:
LIFE WELL LIVED
If you wish to enter the team speaking competition please ask one member of your team to email the National Education Director at veunson@hotmail.com the names and clubs of your four team members.
We look forward to seeing you all on 19th November in York!
Regional events
Each year, all of the ASC Areas and Districts host their annual public speaking competitions and AGMs. These are a great opportunity to meet other members of the ASC and enjoy some outstanding public speaking. The ASC also hosts a team speaking competition and an annual Presidents Dinner.
Our main events are as usually scheduled as follows:
January – March: District AGMs and competitions
April: National Conference
August: Summer Break
October: Presidents Dinner and Team Speaking Competition
November – December: End of Year Celebrations
The National Conference
The highlight of the ASC year is its annual conference and AGM which also includes the National Final of the ASC public speaking competitions. This takes place in April in a different venue every year, and is a fantastic opportunity to meet other ASC members, enjoy a display of Best in Class public speaking and become involved with the ASC at a wider level.
