Thanks to Sharyn for this write up.
The first February meeting luckily landed on Saint Valentines Day! Our Sergeant at Arms was busy, helpful and welcoming. Toastmaster for the night, moi, had a few classic Valentine poetry pieces to share eg "My Princess Life was always quite normal and sane...Now we've met and it's weakened by brain" Karl Fuchs
Welcome to guests, Terry, Ernie, Maureen and Matt.
The word for the night was 'obfuscation'. Try saying that three times quickly....

For our first Round Robin, Inge, gave us background on Saint Valentine and asked us to share who had offered encouragement in your life. Marlene was mentioned as a great source of encouragement for our members.
Table Topics challenged the participants and the speeches were engaging.

It was great to see Racheal, June and Meriel at the meeting. Harry was Chairman for the Business Session and did a marvellous job, our Parliamentarian John's feedback mentioned Harry's flamboyant way with banging the gavel - it is very important to receive constructive feedback.Grammar wise, the minimisation of Ums, Ahrs, Yeah and 'you know' is improving.
All members were VERY attentive with their listening and they HAD to be with the quality of Leesa's questions. The raffle, a romantic pot pouri of gifts and treats.......You had to be LUCKY to win that !!!
Del gave a thorough general evaluation of the meeting and the awards for the night went to Inge (Best Table Topic) Rachel (Best Evaluation) Harry (Personal Best) Trish (Best Speech) Sharyn (Best contribution).
Kylie we need you to give us another quick course on tips to improve photography skills.
Our thoughts and best wishes are with you Jonathon.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the next meeting.
