In her Outgoing Club President's speech, Gail H spoke about the main events of the past TM year, including our recent 50th Anniversary celebrations, the speech contests and Conferences, and our participation at the Einbunpin Festival. She mentioned that our club has achieved the President Distinguished level (the highest ranking) and she thanked all members for their support and hard work.

Carmy presented a brief history of Toastmasters International and its founder Ralph Smedley in 1924 then she proposed a toast to "Toastmasters International."
Narelle presented the Round Robin warm up session, inviting us to speak for 20 seconds on personal growth - particularly through travelling. This resulted in some hilarious travel tales.

Trish delivered an Invocation, with a beautiful Irish blessing. "May you have enough..."
Helen conducted a short business session. The main items for discussion were changing the signatories for the club's bank account and our information stall at the upcoming Einbunpin Festival.

Instead of our usual Changeover Dinner this year, (because we had recently had our 50th Anniversary Dinner) we had pizza for supper and an extended time for socializing. The pizza was so delicious that there were just a few pieces left when the incoming VPPR remembered to take a photo.

| Yum! |
 |
| With pineapple - yay! |
Back in the meeting, Outgoing Area Director Suzanne dismissed and thanked the outgoing Club Officers.
