Meeting 884 on 28 August

A great turnout for our Table Topics and Humorous Speech Contests, with six guests - Ralph (to be inducted next meeting), Kel (an experienced Toastmaster, having been a member of other clubs, and intending to join Sandgate), Terry (also joining soon), Vicki, Darryl and Belinda - welcome!

Four members contested Table Topics (Ernie, Dave, Maureen and Trish), and two in Humorous Speech (Trish and John T) - a wonderful demonstration of the skills of Sandgate Club.

Trish and Maureen placed first and second, respectively, in the Table Topics Contest.

Jonathon performed admirably as Contest Chairman, and Liz Wo as chief judge trained a few club members in the art of judging.

 

Trish placed first in the Humorous Speech Contest, so will represent Sandgate in Humorous Speech and Table Topics at the Area Contest on 3 November at Eventide. Please mark the date in your diary so you can support Trish on this informative and fun Toastmaster event.

Supper and chat (impromptu speaking)

The raffle was very happily won by Marlene, a very interesting game donated by Liz We.

A reminder that semi-annual fees are due between now and 25 September (at the latest). Members should have received an invoice - please contact Kylie, Treasurer, with any questions.

Next meeting is Tuesday 11 September.
