"SCUBA DIVING AT BIRTH!"

Open Water Diving / Birth Repercussions" These were the two intriguing titles of Pania's excellent meeting held on 24th May.  Read more:

Linda chaired the meeting beautifully.  Not only did she give a very friendly greeting but also reminded us of Saturdays Royal Wedding.  A nice touch appreciated by everyone.

Darryl  introduced Tamara by outlining the speech objectives and what a speech it was!  Her enthusiasm and knowledge was outstanding.  The detail gave everyone an insight as to what under water swimming is all about.  Well done!   So was the explanation of the sort of  qualifications one requires.  Tamara should feel proud of her efforts.  After all this is only her second assignment!

Darryl showed his experience with a very thoughtful evaluation.  Darryl gave a nice balance by placing more emphasis on praise with some suggestions for improvement.   This included aspects such as speech rate.

Marc introduced Kristy by following a similar path to that of Darryl.  Interesting that Kristy was also presenting her second assignment.  So good to have another person setting herself such a high standard!  What an easy to relate to subject.  So true to life - that of getting hand me downs!  Wow!  What a story. Brought back memories for me that's for sure.  Seemed like the audience felt much the same.  Liked your use of humour.  Well done Kristy!

Marc is a very experienced evaluator and his feedback was a lesson for us all.  The explanation he gave for his comments gave clarity as to why he said what he did.  Kristy would have benefitted from such inciteful comments.

Pania is lucky to have people like Darryl and Marc as evaluators.  Come and see for yourself!

Table Topics were provided by Patrick.  He chose to ask the speakers subjects relating from Queen Victoria's day (from way back in 1819) and relate it to NZ as it is now.  Wow!  Sure got us thinking!
Especially Lou, Mike, Linda and Craig.
For one brief moment I wondered if Patrisk didn't really like us.
Very good effort from those taking part and thanks Patrick.  I looked at all the questions and appreciate his efforts.

Noel evaluated Table Topics and provided each speaker with worthwhile comment.  Noel always sets himself a high standard and today was no exception.  Thanks Noel.

Craig gave his timekeepers report. Short, sharp, succinct.  Thanks Craig.

Linda concluded the meeting on a very positive note by thanking all those taking part.

Best speaker -  Tamara
Best evaluator - Marc
Best table topics - Linda
