Creatures of the Night


Our meeting on 27 October 2009 was very entertaining. An informative after dinner speech by Dave gave us some thoughtful, fascinating facts about glass (how does he remember all that information? - very inspiring). Ian presented an impromptu speech which left us all desperate to hear the next instalment. I showed how to build rapport with fellow members (using an exceptional able assistant - Thanks Liz). Trish, our toastmaster, almost told a decent joke regarding the halloween theme, all the members were all smiling and commenting goodheartedly at how bad they were although the DELIVERY was superb. The raffle containing a big black spider (edible) was introduced by our own wordsmith Leesa with an amazing rhyming verse. Trish won!
In conclusion Annette in her General Evaluation stated "It was a happy and friendly meeting".

I attended the 'free' Toastmaster viewing of Michael Moore's movie "Capitalism - A Love Story" at South Bank and as a bonus listened to International Contest winner Mark perform his speech.
