Club 19 Highlights
- Rostrum Speaker of the Year Competition was won by Amber Anderson in 2008
- Rostrum WA Recruitment Award for the cub which recruited the most members in 2008
- Bronze Medallion for long service awarded to Dorothy Psaila-Savona
Club 19's then President, Terry Cunningham, noted that,
"Amber's achievement was especially noteworthy as there were "three other finalists, with none of them having less than 10 years experience in Rostrum.
Amber used that Aquarian energy and enthusiasm, combined with a well structured speech, true emotion and great technique to blitz the competition. It was a truly magnificent performance from Amber who only joined Club 19 in February this year."
Rostrum Personal Development Program
One of the benefits of attending a Rostrum Club is to participate in a three staged comprehensive Personal Development Program (PDP) developed by Rostrum WA. Each stage consists of a series of tiered & sequential exercises which are described in detail in the Introductory, Intermediate and the Advanced PDP booklets.
The Introductory PDP consists of 12 sequential learning exercises which members can choose to undertake after joining a club.
- About me (first speech)
- Answering a pertinent question (impromptu speech 2-3 minutes)
- Participating in a member (ie move a motion or amendment during a meeting)
- Asking a pertinent question (PQ)
- I feel strongly about speech (4 minute speech)
- Reading aloud
- Finding something to say (4 minute speech to persuade, entertain or inform an audience)
- Finding something to say (5 minute speech)
- Conducting a Rostrum meeting
- Prepared speech (5 minutes)
- Giving a demonstrtion
- Prepared speech (6 minutes)
The Intermediate PDP is designed to increase a person's confidence by undertaking nine areas of further development.
- Impromptu speech
- Reading poetry
- Chairing a Rostrum meeting
- Presenting a persuasive speech (5 minutes)
- Chairing a formal part of a Rostrum meeting
- Present a training session to either inform or teach a skill
- Present a competition speech
- Present an entertaining speech
- Lead a discussion (ie a group situation which does not have a structure of formal meeting).
