Before the meeting, Toastmaster Trish asked each of us what "Spring" meant to us, and she used this in her introductions.
John T's word for the evening was "blossom" and it was wonderful to see how our members are blossoming in their communication skills.
In the absence of a Table Topics Master, Robert, John T, Maureen and Harry each provided a spring related topic. Can't remember who their "victims" were, but they were evaluated by Kylie.
June presented her 3rd speech, "People Watching." It was a fascinating topic, which she brought to life with animated gestures and interesting anecdotes. It was evaluated by Marlene.
Dave's advanced manual speech "The Dirt on Clean" was an interesting & amusing account of hygiene over the ages. Jonathon, in his evaluation was able to suggest how Dave could take his excellent speech to an even higher level.
Liz Wo presented an educational session on evaluating, which was of great benefit to all.
Round Robin Master Robert asked "What is your favourite fruit or flower?" There were some amusing answers.
The Business Session was conducted by Jennine. It was her first time as chairman, but she handled it efficiently. The main business was about Area Conference, to be held n the 3rd November.
