The 'Perfect' Word or The Peter Principle?

What another grand meeting of Pania Toastmaster's Club today, a cool day outside but warm in our meeting environment and a great way to spend your lunch hour!
14 members and a guest Graham, joined Toastmaster Craig for the meeting with a full programme of two speeches and a Table Topics Session. Opening on time we started with Table Topics run by Jen , and what an interesting range of topics we had to answer.

"DEAREST MOTHER"

Dearest Mother,

This was the title of Brenda's speech yesterday, a very personal letter written on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of her mother's death. Brenda inspired us with her words, and also used her delivery skills extremely well. her voice was used as we have not heard it before helping to make an impact on the audience. Well done, Brenda. You will have leaned so much from that assignment.

The Crumble Connoisseur

12 members attended another excellent Pania meeting today, well led by our Toastmaster Barbara, who started on a sweet note by handing out chocolates all round, to celebrate “National Week for School Support Staff” off which she is one!

DAD AND THE DUCK

Hello Everyone.

Darryl presented a speech today with this intriguing title. “ It was a speech,” said Evaluator, Graeme Valentine, “designed to illustrate vocal variety.” It certainly did this, with much quacking and water ( not literally) flying around.  I wonder if anyone else almost missed the punchline?? Graeme had several suggestions for Darryl for another time, as well as lots of commendations for a speech with a difference.
