Since I posted on here. One of the articles I have recently read about blogging says that you should post on a blog at least twice a week. So, I am going to aim to do that from now on.
I had a great weekend in Maidenhead with some wonderful friends. They know who they are. This week I am working on some quite boring stuff at work, but thankfully I have some entertaining and perhaps challenging activities in the evenings.
Wednesday evening I will be continuing my quest for Advanced Communicator Silver in Toastmasters with an impromptu speech at Huntingdonshire Speakers.
Thursday evening I have the honour of attending the 10th. anniversary dinner for Cambridge Speakers at Clare College, Cambridge, and I will be presenting an award. I'm really excited about this and will report on here after the event.

Stakhanovite
Well, I was called 'Stakhanovite' today, and I had to go and look up the definition on Google - where else?
Apparently, it means that I achieve goals through putting in a lot of hard work, and I'll take that compliment!
Today Toastmasters Area that I have been supporting since July 1 2008 achieved President's Distinguished Area. A very proud moment, and one of the most respected members of the Area emailed me that it was due to my Stakhanovite efforts. Thank you, Brian, but this award belongs to everyone in Area 41, whether they be a long-serving member or one of the people that has joined in the past few weeks!
For anyone reading this who doesn't know what Toastmasters International is, you can find out more information at www.toastmasters.org or www.d71.org
Toastmasters International is the world's largest not-for-profit educational organisation, and the quickest acting and most cost-effective self-development programme in the world!
