Summer time is coming and the living may be easy. It is certainly, though, a time for fairs and fetes. Someone has to declare them open and that person could be you. So you should start by welcoming the guests and speak about what the fair or fete means to the local community. You speak about the attractions at the fair and how it is a time for enjoyment and fun and maybe time to bag a bargain. You speak of the reason for it and thank the committee for the hard work that went into preparing it. Your speech should say something about the reason you are having the fete and what will be done with the funds raised. Overall your speech should make people feel good about themselves and good about supporting such a worthwhile cause. If it does your speech will be a success and hopefully, the funds raised will reflect this.

I had a request today to write a welcome speech. I’ve written quite a few of these in my time and well I wouldn’t be doing what I am doing, if I didn’t make every speech I write different from the one before.

So I’m scratching my head trying to think of a new angle. And I think about all the welcome speeches I’ve sat through and had to listen to over the years. What connects them all?

The fact that I feel included is a start. A genuine welcome is another. There is something in there about my contribution, or what I’ll gain, the fun that I can expect to have, or the adventure that awaits. Pretty soon, if I put myself in the position of the audience, I’m getting the grid pattern.

The speech I want to give, is essentially this; it is the speech I would like to hear.
