"SPEAKING OF THE DANCING QUEEN!!!"

What a welcome Pania toastmasters got to their meeting on Thursday , our resident Dancing Queen……. Carol, took us on a journey back in time , when ABBA commanded the airwaves.

Carol had produced a bright cheery programme. She had done a good job of briefing other contributors to the meeting of her them for the day .

With two exceptions ,we could all remember the ABBA days and to the two members  who don’t ……….bad luck !!! It was a great era.


Mike introduced Anna who spoke about filling your life and living your dreams .In a beautifully crafted speech we learned what some of Annas dreams are .

Mikes evaluation was well done , he re visited the objectives, spoke in the third person , had a lot of commendations for Anna intermingled with his recommendations .

A great table topics session by Tamara , she presented some curly thoughts that had meters thinking and even got Craig singing .

The next part of the meeting was devoted to the explanation of officer roles ,where we hope we can whet the appetite of a few new members or even not so new to serve on the committee , its not hard work in fact its the easiest  committee you will ever serve on .
Two changes that will make a difference though , are that Craig understandably no longer wishes to hold the role of VP Education . This is a vital role any one interested should spend time with Craig prior to his or her taking the role. .

During the general business a round of applause was given to Craig who seems to walk on water when it comes to his bouncing back  !! Most people take more than one week off after a heart attack and subsequent surgery !!

The general evaluation,by Jan , included the time keepers report by Patrick,( a lesson in brevity .) followed.

The table topics were evaluated by Darryl , with good commendations given to speakers and to the Table Topics master .

A big thanks to our dancing queen, Carol, for a great meeting .
