Cornwall Federation of Women's Institutes Speakers' Directory

CORNWALL FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES SPEAKERS’ DIRECTORY

INTRODUCTION This Speakers’ Directory is produced by the Cornwall Federation of Women’s Institutes (CFWI). It provides WIs in the Federation with useful information to help them to choose good and effective speakers for their monthly meetings on a wide range of interesting and educational topics.

Potential new speakers frequently approach the Federation. We hold audition days twice a year to select new speakers. WI members from across the county attend these days. The WI members appraise the auditions and the Board takes full account of their recommendations in deciding who to accept. If you would like to be considered as a speaker, or if you know someone who does, please contact the Federation Secretary. If you would like to attend a Speakers’ Audition Day, the next one is advertised in County News.

The Directory is kept up to date on the website. We no longer publish and distribute paper copy of the directory as a matter of course, because it so quickly becomes out of date. Nevertheless, if you would like a paper copy, please contact the Federation Secretary.

The Directory is compiled with great care. But CFWI cannot accept responsibility for the contents and reserves the right to make any alterations it may think fit.

If you engage a speaker who is particularly good, please let us know. Similarly, if you are dissatisfied with a speaker from this directory please contact the Federation Secretary straight away - that way we can help ensure the continued good quality and reliability of our speakers.

IMPORTANT NOTES RE PAYMENTS FOR SPEAKERS Always check fees, expenses etc. with a speaker before booking, and ask for confirmation in writing or by email of the agreed terms. If no fee is mentioned, it does not necessarily follow that a talk or demonstration is free.

In accordance with Charity Commission rules, WIs are not permitted to provide financial support to charities which do not further the objects of the WI, and payment for a speaker could count as such a donation. WIs must therefore pay the speaker and it is then the speaker’s responsibility to make the charitable donation. However, this does not always work out, so should a speaker request that payment be made directly to their charity, WIs are advised to request an invoice from the charity which clearly states the name of the speaker and that payment is for the provision of a speaker, together with the date of meeting. For preference, this should be done in advance of the meeting, so that this does not cause problems at the meeting. If you have queries on this, contact your WI Adviser.

If a speaker wants to sell goods at the meeting, so long as you are happy with that, then he/she may do so provided the speaker donates at least 10% of the total takings to your WI.

HAVING A SPEAKER – A NOVICE GUIDE

Do use the Speakers Invitation Forms when booking a speaker, which cover all the points you need to tell your speakers. These forms are in two parts: a reply part, and a part to be handed to the Treasurer on arrival at the meeting. This ensures that both the WI and the speaker have the same information. The forms, produced by WI Enterprises, are available from Trading Post at Cornwall Federation office for a small charge, and can be downloaded from the CFWI website.

Much of your communication will be by email. If you write to a speaker, enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

Always give your speakers a telephone number - preferably the mobile number of one of your WI officers, in case of a last-minute emergency. Ensure you have an emergency number for the speaker on the day too.

Send a reminder to your speaker at least 10 days before the date of your meeting. Reminder forms are also available from Trading Post at County Office or may be downloaded from the CFWI website.

Ask the speaker what equipment he/she is bringing and what the WI needs to provide. Check that it is compatible and will operate effectively. Check how long the speaker needs to set up for his/her talk and agree when that will be done.

Agree how the meeting room will be laid out for the speaker.

Agree a time of arrival and how long the speaker will talk, including questions.

Send your speaker a map showing the location of your hall, or direct the speaker to your website, if directions are shown there.

ON THE DAY Make sure the room is laid out appropriately for the speaker.

If the speaker is coming by car, keep a parking space outside the hall.

Nominate someone to greet the speaker and ensure the speaker has everything needed, Have a glass of water on the table for the speaker.

Do see that the speaker is not kept waiting past the agreed time for the talk. The speaker should not be expected to wait long while you finish your business, and he/she may have a long journey home after the talk.

Page 2 of 37

Introduce the speaker correctly (name, job/position, talk title, etc.), even if he/she is known locally or is a WI member.

If the speaker over-runs, judge how the meeting is going and at an appropriate time stand up and indicate politely to the speaker that he/she needs to wind up.

After the talk, thank the speaker, or ask a member to give a short vote of thanks. Always pay your speaker at the time of the talk, not by post later.

IF A SPEAKER FAILS TO COME If the speaker is late, call him/her to ascertain the situation and whether you can accommodate a changed arrangement. In case your speaker should fail too late for you to contact anyone else (e.g., his/her car may break down on the way to the meeting), always have some ideas in readiness, so that members may enjoy their monthly meeting anyway. Be prepared. Here are a few suggestions:

• Prepare a quiz in advance and keep it for “just in case”. • Have a round-table discussion on WI issues - ideas for next year’s programme, outings, competitions and social time, or resolutions you would like to see passed. • Have a Woman’s Hour or magazine-type programme, on topical or local issues. Prepare a few topics in advance. • Bring a CD player and have an easy social evening with background music over a cup of coffee. Use it as an opportunity for members to mix and have the opportunity for a chat with new or different ladies - not just the ones they usually sit with. • Some of your own members might be able to speak about or demonstrate a craft or hobby, or show particularly interesting pictures. Why not ask one or two if they would like do so sometime? • Is there anyone nearby who would come and speak? Consider contacting your WI Adviser for advice.

AND FINALLY Enjoy your meetings and we hope that this directory helps you make the best of them!
