We are coming to the end of this Toastmasters year. This will be the last from me for a while.
I feel it has been a reasonably successful year but not as well as I hoped. Division B at this point of time has ended up with:
- 1 President Distinguished Club; Ngamotu Breakfast
- 1 Select Distinguished Club; Palmerston North
- 1 Distinguished Club; Moturoa
I was hoping on a few more clubs getting to Distinguished.
Please remember the fees that we ask the clubs for is to provide the Areas and Division to run successfully and to provide refunds for contestants to be able to travel to the next level. It also allows the Governors to get repaid for their own money they put in to allow things to run. So clubs please get your semis on automatic payment and allow in the clubs fees at least $5.00/member to be forwarded to The Division to allow the monies to be allocated to Area and Division.
Area Governors.
So far there are Area governors for B1, Ruth Proffit; B3 Myself; and B5 Sue Anstey.
There is a possible for B4 underway at the moment. Please anybody else in the Area B6 and B1 willing to undertake the rewarding task as a District Officer. You will learn so much more about our marvelous organization.
Awards
The Division has done well on its educational awards but please the incoming club executives make sure that you get at least two CL awards through and 1 Advanced Communicator as well has your many CC. It's the lack of CLs and Advanced awards that let the clubs down
Training
Well this coming year should get this Division up and running well. Our new TLIs have had their training and will be helping out on all the club training. If a club is unable to make a training session then they will come to the club with the Area Governor to get training. No longer will there be somebody saying this is what you do or how you do it. It will be a totally interactive session. It would be great if all seven members of the club executive were there and better any other members of their club.
Crimms Cramms
Well it has been a very interesting year learning many things. One of the most interesting things seems to be that I am somewhat an accident waiting to happen. July last year I found that fishing is a dangerous hobby which left me with a ruptured Achilles tendon. I finally got rid of the pain and plaster got moving again. Went to Rotorua Convention and on the way home managed to get run over by my own campervan trying to crash start it. Back on pain killers. Wheeeee.
As Winston Churchill said; "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."
I do hope that you have benefited from my ramblings and I hope that John Hancox, the incoming Division B Governor, will serve you well.
So farewell!
Jim Curtis DTM
Division B Governor
2007 - 2008.
