Newcastle Business Club Speaking Spot 18/9/08

Tim Costello Keynote Speaker - I being the Local Guest Speaker to the 120 guests

Well this was a big event for me, a fair few nerves and excitement and quite a few tears flowing as well. I had a fantastic power point presentation of beautiful images to compliment and narate my speach with that Tim Callcott my Event manager drove along with the DVD. It was hard, and always is re visiting the past and i do believe it is the key to the future though. A great time of learning, as is the present. Tim Costello was thought provoking and quite unique and funny too when required. And the food was great too.

All pics by Young Gavin, thanks for your support Gavin and getting some great pics of me in my new Gentlemens outfitters suit. For any of you who mentions to David McElwaine in the Hunter St Mall store that I said it was okay for them to ask David for a bigger discount than advertised it is. David said he will look after you further if you mention your connection with me. David is a man of his word too by the way and wow I am learning about fashion. How cool. Below I  post a members comment and my note to thank them.

Hi Ed, I didn’t get a chance to say this last week as you were surrounded by people at the end of the lunch, but I thought you were amazing last week.

I have not cried like that during a speech for some time.  You were real, emotional and very easy to listen to.  And the photos were fantastic!

I wish you well in this amazing endeavour! Take care and see you soon

Dear Fellow Newcastle Business Club members

Thank you for allowing me into your lives for a short time – while I was very nervous  it was a great thrill and to hear Tim Costello say that he may as well go home after hearing me speak was incredible.

I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you to think about what I have been through and what I want to give back.  I could really use your help.
