Meeting Cancelled

 

The Hub is closed

It was very disappointing to have our meeting cancelled at the last minute due to new lock down rulings. There was no time to make alternate arrangements. 

See you all on the 12th October for our Evaluation and International Contests.

Meeting 1091 - Table Topics and Humorous Speech Contest

 Always an exciting Meeting with 2 Contests. Once again Sergeant At Arms Josh gave a warm introduction with reminders about switching mobile phones to silent and location of facilities and Exits.  This was followed by the Mission Statement.

President Trish stated that "All Contestants are winners before they even start", by just stepping up to partake. Return guest Amber was welcomed.

Peter provided the Toast -  to "Discrimination" with many examples of how this affects our daily lives.

The Table Topics Contest Chairman Dan explained the procedure and requirements for the Contest.

There were 12 Contestants - I am sure a record number - and they were challenged with the topic "Should we trust self driving cars". 

Place Getters: First; Tony, Second, Leanne, Third, John T.
