Welcome to our newest member Amanda, who was inducted into our club by president Sharyn. We also welcomed three guests, Marie, Ernie and a past member, David A.Annette was Toastmaster and had plenty of Irish Jokes. Some of them were funny!
Robert introduced the Word of the Day, "Unicorn" then realised he meant "Leprechaun" so we had fun using both words during the evening.
Round Robin Master Liz We asked us to tell what we knew or imagined about Ireland.
Harry had some challenging Table Topics for Liz We, John, Marlene and Leesa. They were "The Luck of the Irish," "What's at the End of the Rainbow" "Murphy's Law" and "Holiday in the Emerald Isle."
They were evaluated by Liz Wo.
Jennine presented an interesting speech about David Attenborough. Trish's speech was "Taking the Fear out of Speaking."
The speeches were evaluated by John and Leesa.
A second Round Robin, conducted by Marlene, took the form of a continuing story. It began with Paddy digging in his potato field and took many amazing twists as each person added to it.
The Business Session was conducted efficiently by Nicole. It was her first time as Chairman.
Grammarian Dave congratulated members who had succeeded in avoiding the use of "Ums & Ah's" and commented on some good uses of words.
Jonathon's Listening Quiz was fast moving, with many fines collected.
June's raffle prize of a torch and green bags, was won by Leesa.
Sharyn evaluated the meeting then presented the awards for the evening, which went to Jennine (Best Speech,) John (Best Evaluation,) Nicole (Personal Best,) Marlene (Best Table Topic,) and Annette (Best Contribution.)
We almost didn't fit into the photo and the camera wasn't on the right setting - but our new banner looks good!
