"HOW DO YOU THINK BEFORE YOU PAINT?"

"How do you think before you paint?", this was the intriguing topic of our 'Test' speaker's speech for Pania's Evaluation Contest today. The speech was presented by Fiona, from Napier Toastmasters Club, and proved to be an excellent speech for our Evaluators to discuss and dissect.

"SMALL TALK ABOUT 'CLEAN' EATING HABITS!"

Two Terrific Talks – Thursday 24^th of November

Highlight of last week’s meeting were the exceptional speeches.  It was a real privilege to listen to them. Sandy and Rebecca are both new members who were both doing project two form the Competent  Communicator’s manual.  They both put in considerable effort.  They were well crafted and structured and gave us a real insight into their passions and a fascinating perspective into their lives.  They were also effective as they both told a story and made a point.

"THE DOGS ARE BARKING"

Anna was our lovely toastmaster this week and started our meeting on time having provided all participants with a well laid out agenda. Helen read our mission statement with great eye contact.

Marc introduced Craig with his usual thorough research – this being Craig’s 10^th time he had completed his manual – that’s dedication.

"SOMETHING DIFFERENT!"

Pania Club met today at a different venue due to the usual rooms being required for a two day Conference by the Blind Foundation.

"WHAT IS HAPPINESS?-TURKEYS DO IT!"

An excellent meeting of Pania Toastmasters today attended by 16 members and one guest, Liz who all enjoyed a great and varied program overseen by the Toastmaster of the Day, Jen, who controlled the ajenda (agenda) well and allowed the meeting to flow smoothly with pertinent comments between each item.
