"IT'S A HOT TOPIC-CONSTANTLY MOVING!!"

What a great meeting at Pania Toastmasters on 27th June!
Two speakers with intriguing speech titles of "Constantly moving" and "Hot topic"   What more could one ask for? - read more.
Julie our Toastmaster started the meeting exactly on time at 12.05.  Her impeccable program left us in no doubt as to when everything was going to happen but also who was responsible.  Well done.  She also gave one of the club officers an unexpected gift!  Lovely surprise which I'm sure Graeme appreciated..  Lou our grammarian introduced her word for the day Euphoric and challenged everyone to use it.  Which they did.  15 times!   Wow!   Great word!

Our first speaker Benita gave her first ever speech to the club which was called "Constantly moving"  What an apt title that was!  Benita should feel very proud of her presentation.  Clarity of voice, great use of words that conveyed just the right impression.  Excellent eye contact and lots of humour.  Congratulations!  Her evaluator quickly recognised Benita's strengths with words like polished and engaging.  Anna also gave Benita suggestions that would be of help next time.  Well done both of you! 

Next speaker was Sandy a very experienced Toastmaster.  Her subject was called "Hot topic"  Sandy opened with a great touch of humour saying "Luckily I don't work with humans" and quickly moved on to talk about fish and water temperatures.  Well done Sandy.  What an interesting topic.  The visuals complimented what was said extremely well.  Your knowledge is very impressive.
Paula gave Sandy a very well rounded overview on what she saw and heard.  Paula shows great insight and knows exactly just what to say in terms of helping fellow Toastmasters.  We are very fortunate having people like her in the Pania club.

Today we had Jen as our Table Topic Master.  What an interesting session this was.  Jen's choice of subject was quite unique and certainly gave those taking part food for thought.  I thought using the questions asked her was quite delightful.  I know I tried to look as if I had suddenly become
extremely busy.  
I applaud Patrick, Craig and Israel for the way they responded to the challenge given them.
I would also congratulate Jen for trying something different.
Marc was our Table Topics Evaluator and his experience came through very strongly.  I heard a thoroughly competent overview for all those taking part.  Congratulations!  Very impressive.

The time keepers report was presented by Jenni.  Thorough as always.  Well done you.

Lou gave her Grammarians report.  Liked the extent Lou went to to make the session memorable.
Not only did she have the word of the day in two places but she also highlighted other words that appealed to her.  Excellent.

Best Speaker  Benita
Best Evaluator Marc

Congratulations everybody!   For a 35 year old Club we are stronger than ever!!
