40th Anniversary of the Association of Speakers Clubs

2012 has been an important year for Speakers: it marks the 40th anniversary of the foundation of the Association of Speakers Clubs, the 30th of the launch of Carlisle Ladies Speakers Club and the 10th of its becoming the mixed club it now is, Carlisle & District Speakers Club.

Amid all the changes and turnover we still have three of the original Founding Members from 1982:
Christine Shuttleworth, Jess Sinclair and Margaret Hunt, all active and whose experience is of the greatest value to all of our members.

Last month North West District of ASC held an Anniversary celebration lunch in Motherwell for members from all three Areas in the District.  This was attended by the National President of ASC, Graham McLachlan of Renfrew Speakers Club, here seen presenting Carlisle's John Barrie with his Advanced Certificate of Achievement.
