Just when you think you’d settled into a nice routine when it comes to public speaking…BAM, someone throws you a curve ball.
I recently agreed to take part in the Lord’s Taverners charity balloon debate on May 9 at New Dock Hall. Simple task – talk about your sporting hero and try not to get kicked out the metaphorical balloon for being boring.
What I didn’t realise was that I’d be up against the great and the good of sporting excellence- two multi-capped football internationals (Mark Lawrenson and Danny Mills) and an Olympian (Gail Emms), who I believe is a Spurs fan.
As I type I’m still not sure what ‘sporting hero’ I should discuss. I doubt anyone will want to hear about any of West Ham’s great players. Ah, not to worry still plenty of time to think of something…gulp!
If you want to get some tickets then follow the instructions in the poster below.
