SEVILLA’S TOASTMASTERS BROTHERHOOD WEEKEND- AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE OF CONTESTS + FUN!

Oficiales 2013

 

Brothehood weekend of the Conferernce

Friday afternoon – Sightseeing + Tapas

Meeting point: 19.00  at PLAZA NUEVA, (close to the City Hall).  Planned is an accompanied walk through the city centre’s most beautiful and emblematic streets. The route will follow through the Plaza de Toros , La Torre del Oro, the Archivo de Indias, The Alcazar, the Cathedral, the Barrio de Santa Cruz, ending at the Plaza del Salvador, a popular meeting point  and where the route’s first beer will be sampled.
 
By this time members and guests would have become acquainted with each other which is when we set off to visit the authentic “tapas bars”. Should participation be high, we may have to split the group, each led by a fellow Seville Toastmaster to allow for a more genuine experience and for greater convenience when entering a bar.
          

Saturday Night – English Humorous Contest / Gala Dinner / Entertainment
Venue: 19.30 Restaurant Rio Grande.

The English Humorous Speech Contest will be held in a separate private area. We will be listening to fellow Toastmasters speaking against a back-drop of ships sailing through the Guadalquivir.  Sunset views of the Torre del Oro and the Giralda will round up the magical environment. 
The awards ceremony will be followed with an exquisite 3-course dinner, quality wines and coffee. 
                               
Our entertainer of the evening will be the flamenco singer Amparo Lagares and her band. This artist  received numerous awards since she first started performing at the age of five. After her performance those in a party mood can jump to the dance floor.
 
The show goes on with music and the cocktail bar on site will be open “until you drop».
The party is assured . Do not miss it !

ROSEMASTERS

Hello all,
 
How are your holidays been going so far?
 
For those who are already back, I hope you are all doing well,.. and for those who are about to leave now,.. wish you all enjoy your holidays and recharge your batteries 🙂
 
I’m already back in Sevilla and, to heat the engines of the toastmasters´s followers, I want to share with you my visit to ROSEMASTERS Toastmasters club. While I was on vacations I joined the Toulouse´s Toastmasters Club meeting. I want to thank all the Rosemasters´ members their welcome; THANK YOU! I felt part of the group and it was great fun to participate in improvisations.
 
 
For those who still don´t know it, I should mention that it is possible to visit the clubs within the Toastmasters International network and participate in their meetings.
 
For many reasons, the travels through toastmasters clubs are an enriching experience. Firstly, it’s agreat way to meet people from othercities or countries who share the interest in improving communication and leadership skills. Also, it is a great opportunity to practice speaking other languages in a friendly environment. And finally, if for whatever reason you move to another country, you can join the local club and continue with your development wherever you are.
 
It was a very interesting meeting. Rosemasters is a five-years-old club which has both a substantial experience and several awards as a club. If you look carefully the photo you will appreciate several ribbons on their Club´s flag showing their merits. In Toastmasters Seville we have just won one distinction as Distinguished Club and It was as a lot of work, so seeing that many ribbons in Rosemasters´ flag was impressive and inspiring for me,.. I thought, we can learn a lot from them! 🙂
 
 
 
Another aspect that called my attention was the fact that their meetings are bilingual French-English. On one hand, each participant chooses the language to communicate and on the other hand, they have two grammatical evaluators to give feedback to participants in both languages. It is a great fun as well as a good exercise to improve the English or French practice.
 
I enjoyed the experience and I want to visit Rosemasters Toastmasters club again next time I go to Toulouse.
 
And those are the last news from Toastmasters Seville so far,..  see you in September 🙂
 

 

Greetings to all
 
President
