August Report from Benjamin Toastmasters (BTM)

Benjamin TM had a combined Humorous Speech Contenst and Table Topics Competition on 2nd of August 2013. Dominic took first prize (again I think), with his tale of teaching our younger ones to drive, with references to his own experiences as a learner. This was, I am sure, an interesting topic for most people, as we have mostly been taught to drive, or taught others to drive, or both. New member Sandy blitzed the Table Topics competion field, explaining why she thought it worthwhile having breakfast. Our following meeting (16 August) was quite dynamic, with three fellow Toastmaster visitors, one interested guest, and a regular member Keiko returning after an absence. The visitors (Jenny and Jim, who we have met before, and Linda, who I think is a new vistor) participated actively, adding a new dynamic to the meeting. Keiko offered some suggestions for making the new meeting place easier to find, which we will follow up. Our next meeting is 30 August 2013.
