We had one of our usual well-attended and exemplary meetings
on 2 May, with only one member absent. We welcomed guest Baran, who has also
visited the club previously. Nicole gave her first speech, her ‘icebreaker’,
which was well prepared and told us about her life in Australia so far. She has
lived in several cities and found them all different. She appeared remarkably relaxed, speaking without notes for most of the time! Dominic’s evaluation was
very positive, including one recommendation. Karina then offered a set of
challenging Table Topics, which gave impromptu speaking opportunities to
everyone who was not otherwise speaking at the meeting. Topics included: Your
favourite animal?, Do you like uncertainty?, Is formal education better than
informal? Geoff gave the table topics evaluation, including an evaluation of his own topic.
The meeting on May 2 included election of the club’s office
bearers for 2014-15 and the distribution of the annual-general-meeting reports
for 2013-14. Linda, our new member who is also currently President of the ANU’s
‘University Club’, conducted the election. There being no competing
nominations, no voting was required. The new officers will be listed on the
club details page nearer their start date of 1 July.
Next meeting is on Friday 16 May.
