The session will incorporate some of the fundamentals of kickboxing and will be suitable for all ages, abilities and fitness levels.

  • First panel discussion

    ''And the winner is… none of these panellists! How to learn, grow and bounce back from losing” In this panel discussion, chaired by Freddie Daniells, we will hear from three of our own successful Toastmasters - Sonia Aste, Simon Bucknall and Errol Williamson - and how they failed their way to success. We will hear their stories of failure, learn how they found the courage to carry on, hear advice on how to cope with our own failures both in Toastmasters and beyond and we will hear how they ultimately turned their failure into their successes.

  • Second panel discussion

    Making the most of mentoring. Chaired by Andy Hammond, panel members including Dennise Hilliman, Paul Rhys-Taylor and Rick Cooper will share their experiences of mentoring, from the support they received as new members and the benefits they gained, how their mentors inspired and motivated them to greater achievements personally, to starting new clubs, and growing into leadership roles, and how those skills can be applied in the “real world”. There will be the opportunity for the audience to ask the panel questions and to share their own experiences of mentoring.

  • Third panel discussion

    Leaders of Tomorrow, Today, chaired by Steve Birch. Steve is passionate about the need for Youth Leadership to be a part of every school curriculum. He believes that as “they will become the leaders of tomorrow, there is a need for these life skills to be learnt when the brain is like a sponge thirsting for knowledge.” Steve will be joined by Gagan Singh, Alistair Barton, Jannette Winnick, Dr Julie Kertesz & Geoff Richardson.

  • Four speech contests

    Table Topics, Humorous speech, International speech and Evaluation contests featuring the best of the best from across Division 91.
