Welcome to a New Year! Our first meeting of the year was held on 30th January. This was a meeting in which Peter
spoke of comfort and Dominic spoke of disaster.
A meeting in which we all had the opportunity to speak in an extended
Table Topics. We welcomed the new VPPE,
Peter Herbert and tried out our new web based agenda sign-up system (http://benjamintoastmastersorg.toastmastersclubs.org/agenda.html)
for members.
The Word of the Day was “comfortable” and how Dominic
managed to use that word in his key speech entitled “How to Survive a Disaster”,
I’ll never know. Dominic presented yet
another smooth and stylish speech so that we could all know what to do to
survive a disaster. He structured the
speech very well giving a background, a specific example and some very sound
advice. Prepare!
Ianon introduced a wide range of Table Topics including New
Year’s resolutions, plans for the future, reflection on the past and preparing for
and surviving disasters. Table Topics speakers
were Lili, Karina, Nick, Dom, Linda, Peter and Geoff. It was very enjoyable listening to Nick
quickly developing speaking style and particularly enjoyable hearing Lili’s
good news.
Our next meeting is on Friday the 13th. Maybe some spooky theme may pop up, who knows. Members, don’t forget to sign up on the Agenda
page at the website – link above.
This Wednesday we will also be at the O’Week Market Day, so
if you are not already a member and want to have a go, please come and talk to
us.
