Club Committee Members

Club President: Anna Jackman: Anna progressed from tea girl, to light operator, to secretary, to treasurer and it is sensible to promote her further to Club President. Her warm personality coupled with her inability to refuse to accept positions offered means that she is always willing to demonstrate what a wonderful club we are.
Past Club President: Gerard Casale: Gerard joined speakers a few years ago and worked his way from a nervous beginner to the exalted position of being Club President for 2008. He is one of several club members to hold the MasterPiece award and is undisputed champion of the yellow ducks. (ask him about this!). Bringing a selection of new ideas, generous energy and strong commitment to the best club in the District, Gerard is a valued club asset and has now progressed from being an honorary Englishman to being a dual one!
Vice President: Ian Price: Despite the inability to recall names, Ian certainly adds bulk to the club. His ability to put most people at ease can mean you suddenly find you are offering to do a speech before you realise it. Offering his support to anyone who wants to wear it, Ian demonstrates the casual approach to informal speaking by preferring impromptu offerings. As District Vice President he supports other clubs and Nationally has written and developed the guidelines for all ASC clubs to use and evaluate Powerpoint.
Club Treasurer: James Malone: We are pleased to welcome James to our committee as Treasurer for the 2009-2010 season. James is an experienced and able club member who brings a lofty perspective to his speeches. Although we trust he will be more down-to-earth in his grasp of the purse strings, we anticipate that his enterprising attitude will bring an increase in our assets.
Vice Treasurer: Frank Forster: Master of the prepared speech, Frank is an artist in many arenas. As a sculptor, a word-smith and in the bar. His ability to spin a yarn into a fascinating vocal journey is the stuff of leg ends. Opps.. legends. Frank's passion is contagious, his smile infectious and his stories outrageous. Come and enjoy listening to a master of the craft.
Committee Member: Sana Namazie: We welcome Sana to the committee for 2008-9. From her first visit to us, Sana has always joined in, helped out and been one of the team. it was only right and proper to welcome her to the committee and make use of her enthusiasm and energy. Still learning the art of speaking, Sana is an inspiration for new speakers and her supportive nature will make sure everyone feels at home - just as she always has.
