Area Governor's visit

We were thrilled to have a visit from Asoki, our Area Governor last meeting. Asoki inspired us with her talk on setting goals.
It was good to chat with her during the break.

New member Sharon presented her Ice Breaker speech, titled "Who Am I?"

Ian gave a speech about a lion called "Samson."

Another new member Rhys was inducted.

Robert and Reese had a good chat over a cuppa.

Its Spring - and our club is blooming!

The theme for the meeting this week was "Swing into Spring." Toastmaster Dave kept the  evening flowing with quotes & rhymes about Spring.

The Table Topics chosen by Sharyn D were quotes related to Spring. Although they were difficult, all her "victims" rose to the occasion and delivered some very witty mini speeches.

Metamorphosis was the word of the  evening (chosen & presented by our new member Sharon R.) It was thrilling to see the metamorphosis that had taken place in Ian as he confidently presented his fourth speech. He had everyone listening and laughing at the story of his experiences with a science teacher from his past.

Other wonderful speeches were presented by Trish L (about Spring Cleaning) and Michael (about Toastmasters.)

Several of our guests filled in a membership application form and others asked for one to take home.
