An inspiring meeting, and the first for some time without any guests, other than Sir Richard Branson during the round robin. If you know somebody who would enjoy and benefit from Toastmasters, why not bring them along as a guest? Encouraging new members keeps the club strong and dynamic. Tonight's meeting was special for having lots of firsts, including an icebreaker speech by Lynda; a table topic by Jennine; and a toast & mission statement by Harry and Jennine.
Please note the next meeting is in three weeks, on Tuesday 14 June. Please bring money for the changeover dinner on Tuesday 28 June. Only members and invited, pre-paid guests will be able to attend the meeting on 28 June, so if anybody contacts you with interest to attend a future meeting, please make them aware of this exception to our standard rule of no charge for guests.
A particular thank you to Kerry and Raider for attending the meeting to complete their roles before departing for other commitments. As John pointed out, this showed commendable commitment to the club and their assigned duties.

It was so good to be back with you all after being away for 6 weeks. Still getting over jet lag. Thanks to Meriel for performing the induction and Leesa for filling in for me as Toastmaster. It was a relief to be able to just sit back & enjoy the meeting.
