Drum roll please for this month’s Club of the Month which goes to Sans Souci Speakers Club!
Founded and developed in Solihull over 30 years ago, Sans Souci SC covers the Solihull, Coventry, Birmingham, Redditch and the West Midlands areas. Their President is Hilary Davis who is a long-standing and highly respected member of the ASC, as well as being a very experienced public speaker.
Sans Souci have embraced Zoom and the online format, and hold fortnightly meetings and they’ve had 6 new members join during the pandemic. They’ve also had one member complete his intermediate certificate via Zoom. Sans Souci is part of the club twinning project and have already hosted a successful meeting with Morecambe & Lancaster SC which was attended by around 30 people.
The club name means “no worries” or “carefree” which is indicative of the supportive and relaxed environment they create within their club, and they have just launched a fantastic new website. As a club, they have a number of members who have taken part in various national contests, including several winners and runners up and one of their members was a founding member back in 1986 (and former National Education Director).
Word on the street is that Hillary Davis is a driving force and inspiration behind the current success of the club and has also been responsible for the launching of a new SC in Birmingham!
