Meeting 868 "Travel"

Toastmaster Liz Wo welcomed us on board and guided us through a fun filled meeting with the theme of "Travel."

Marlene presented the word for the evening, "peregrinate," which means to travel.  Everyone managed to use the word at least once during the evening.

Round Robin Master Dave asked us to each speak for 30 seconds on  where we would like to travel next.

June's Table Topics were also travel related, and asked Kylie, Liz We, Inge and Rhys to speak about the 7 wonders of the world, hot air balloon, travelling back in time, and a "TRAVLR" number plate.

The Table Topics were evaluated by John.

Robert presented his 5th speech, "Homer's Peregrinations" and told us what is involved in travelling with a guide dog.

Trish's speech was about her love affair with books. She displayed some of her favourite books, including the one she has had published, "Learning can be Fun." 

The speeches were evaluated by Kylie and Annette.

There was time for a second Round Robin. Leesa asked us each to talk about things that had gone wrong while travelling. There were many funny stories and nearly everyone spoke for more than the allotted 30 seconds. It was good to see our guests Andrew and Leonie taking part.

Rhys's raffle, drinking water bottles and a chiropratic treatment proved to be popular. It was won by June.

The evenings awards went to Kylie, for Best Table Topic and Best Evaluator, Liz for Best Contribution, and
Robert was Best Speaker and Personal Best.

This was our last regular meeting for the year. Our Christmas Break Up Dinner will be on the 13th December. If you haven't already done so, please contact Sharyn or Marlene  for payment details.
