Brendoncare Castle Club, Mudeford Wood
On 23 February, I was booked to deliver The Power of Humour in Everyday Life to another club run by Brendoncare, this time the Castle Club at Mudeford Wood Community Centre in Christchurch.
After my experience the last time I delivered this talk for a Brendoncare club, I was wondering how it would be received at thisone but the 20 ladies there were a very good audience from the outset and it went really well so I was pleased to put that previous talk and what I felt was an off-form performance at Havant & District Writers' Circle the previous week behind me.
Public Speaking Tip #290: If you have a few below par speaking engagements in a row - for whatever reason - you will find that a) the sequence won't last and b) it really focuses your mind and improves your performance.
After my talk, a couple of the members turned out to be very funny storytellers themselves with a couple of hilarious anecdotes, one about a restaurant's incredibly mean discount offer after waiting staff tipped snails all over a diner and the other about a lady's first (and probably only) all-over massage!

"This is an unusual blog; the art of public speaking is crucial to politics and yet there's not much devoted to it specifically. This blog does, with posts combining accounts of the writer's recent engagements with some handy hints. Given some of the turgid speeches we're forced to suffer in the Commons, more MPs could do with reading it". politics.co.uk
"Nick spoke at our joint meeting with Kingston 41 Club. It was a brilliant evening. Nick is an engaging speaker, witty, topical and very interesting. He spoke for three quarters of an hour without notes, a most knowledgeable man. I cannot recommend Nick enough and can assure you that engaging him is a worthwhile endeavour. I wish you a great evening like ours". Manny Martins Vice Chairman of Hamble Valley Stick Club and 41 Club Regional Councillor, Region 24.
"Your speech to our 9 Rotary Clubs in North Surrey was much appreciated by me and I have received lots of feedback which was very positive about you. It was so refreshing to hear someone who has the wit to make us laugh throughout the evening without resort to 'blue' material and swearing. I do hope many others will get the chance to experience your talents". Howard Smith, Assistant Governor Area 1 Rotary District 1140.
