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.

The Judges were thanked by Trish for their excellent job.
Congratulations to all Participants and the Winners will now continue on to the Area Contests to be held in November.
Congratulations to Tony.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that you can't listen to the answers of the Table Topic when you are contestant yourself. And of course, the good answer comes after you sit down and the nerves calm.
Very nicely run competitions by Dan (great topic) and Tony.
Looking forward to the next 2 contests and the area conference.
