Club Dinner Speaker

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

As is tradition, at the Annual Club Dinner and Awards Ceremony (17th January 2009 at Selsdon Park Hotel £30 per ticket), after the meal and before the awards, we engage the services of a speaker to entertain us.

We have had all manner of sperakers in the past (some who have been dreadful, others very good) and we would like to know if anyone has any ideas

Cycling related, or not

Paid professional or colleague/friend

Dr Micky Ayliffe (Clarencourt rider) who is also a haematologist, apparently is a good speaker, amusing and interesting.

Or there was some guy who did the end-to-end on a recumbent (apparently ) - can't remember his name but the Kingston Phoenix had him last time I went to their dinner-dance. If I remember rightly he lived up north somewhere and went back home after the meal on his motorcycle

Time for a lie down Ant, I think the sun's getting to you .

Does Gethin Butler do after dinner speeches? Is he a good speaker? A legend and current LE-JOG record holder (albeit an ex(?) Paragon ). Did his first marathon this year too....and won it.

Might be a bit pricey but does anyone know if any of the Eurosport crew are any good - David Harman, Mike Smith? I seem to recall Marco saying you had Duffers before, bit past it for commentating but how was he as a speaker? Would probably have to get him to speak before the meal though or we might get 30 minutes talk on the quality of the cheeseboard.

Oh dear oh dear, what have I started

[Jon H]

When we had this discussion a while back I think I suggested Jon Snow, Nicholas Crane, and Adam Hart-Davis. All might be a bit pricey though.


As for Sean lap-dancing, no thanks.
But Pole dancing is another matter entirely - step up Mr Siwicki.
