We were fortunate to have Christine, Steve and Chris come to our meeting and help judge this very important contest. Thanks guy's !
The International Speech is the show case of Toastmaster talent and provides not only a speaking opportunity, but also gives speakers the chance to maybe compete at the World Championship of Public speaking in America. Imagine that !

"LIVING WILLS"

Another hot day.

Thank goodness for air conditioning while we found out all about 'Living Wills'.

The Toastmaster , Barbara , opened the meeting and welcomed members and visitor Ian (from Hastings Club). He gave as good a rendition of the Mission Statement as heard for a long time.

'WAITANGI DAY with PETER RABBIT"

Waitangi Day with Peter Rabbit.
These were the subjects of Table Topics, conducted by Linda and a bard reading from Helen.
There were 12 members at the meeting, plus a guest, Anna who is a Toastmaster and has recently moved to Napier from Auckland.

'"DRINK RAW JUICE AND FEEL ALIVE"

This was the title given by Helen for her "Research your topic" speech today & what a speech it was!

It came from a book by Dr Sandra Cabot and was all about eating the right food, more specifically, raw

juices. Excellent information that was told with enthusiasm. Helen has lost weight already!
