"HATS OFF TO THE HUNTSMAN v. THE KIDS!"

It was a miserable day outside when we gathered for our weekly Toastmasters meeting . But, the atmosphere inside was warm , welcoming and friendly . For an hour we all forgot our other lives and shared in a convivial , entertaining hour . A BIG WELCOME to our newest member, Heather, who did extremely well with her Table Topic.


Sandy was our Toastmaster , and a very fine job she did , so well done that the meeting ended BEFORE time , a very rare occurrence .German precision ???Or was it the work of the very efficient timekeeper , who kept very accurate figures and let the “offenders “ know in her report . Great work Trish .

Marc introduced Tamara with warmth, enthusiasm and in accordance with Toastmasters procedure . 

Tamara's speech was a real revelation , who knew that behind that ready smile was superwoman ? Tamara gave an excellent presentation on how many roles she has in her newly set up business . 

Craig gave Paula a warm introduction . Craig established something new to our club , we need to be mindful of previous evaluations when we are working on Pathways . These become the bones of the new evaluation . 

Paula's speech took us a little further into Paula's life .Its lovely to get to know new people and where they have come from . 

Noel presented the Table topics today , his experience shone through when he offered topics that everyone could answer , simple every day things . The result was a  relaxed table topics session . 

When Marc gave his evaluation of Tamara , he did it using the CRC  method , his suggestions for Tamara were supported by realistic solutions . Marc concluded by reverting to the objectives and established that these were met . 

Craig's evaluation of Paula was similar in structure , his recommendations were gentle and supported by suggestions for improvement . 

Both evaluators spoke in the third person and were generous in their suggestions to assist the speakers .

Patrick evaluated table topics, he gave each participant a commendation and a recommendation , great work Patrick , not always easy to do . He gave the best table topics award to our newest member Heather .We were all in agreement that Heather richly deserved the award . Jen summarised the meeting efficiently as the General Evaluator with comments for all the Evaluators to consider ably assisted by the Timekeeper, Trish. (ED)

And so another wonderful Pania Toastmasters meeting came to an end .

It is fantastic to have Heather join the club , we all wish her well and look forward to learning more about her , and enjoying many meetings with her .Welcome Heather .

Marc will host another finger food lunch after the meeting next week,  if you are coming , and we hope you are .Please  bring a little plate of manageable finger food .
