The Crumble Connoisseur

12 members attended another excellent Pania meeting today, well led by our Toastmaster Barbara, who started on a sweet note by handing out chocolates all round, to celebrate “National Week for School Support Staff” off which she is one!

DAD AND THE DUCK

Hello Everyone.

Darryl presented a speech today with this intriguing title. “ It was a speech,” said Evaluator, Graeme Valentine, “designed to illustrate vocal variety.” It certainly did this, with much quacking and water ( not literally) flying around.  I wonder if anyone else almost missed the punchline?? Graeme had several suggestions for Darryl for another time, as well as lots of commendations for a speech with a difference.

TOUGH LOVE - WITH A DIFFERENCE

After a chilly start our meeting today warmed up as we went along and some excellent Toastmastering was demonstrated! 10 members attended and our Toastmaster Viv had a varied program lined up for us and set the ball rolling with the Mission Of a Club. To warm up, Viv showed excellent body language during her reading of the Mission Statement with plenty of movement and enthusiasm!

Terrorists in Paradise Playing Plane Sports

Hi all you Pania members,

Well, what a panic on a Thursday morning! as most of you will know by now the Council, at its meeting on Wednesday night, decided after viewing a structural report they had commissioned to be done on the Memorial Square building, that the building had to be closed forthwith due to the danger of an Earthquake striking and the building collapsing!!! (with us in it at a meeting).Apparently it was only deemed to be at 12% of the standard required , when the minimum in the interim is 33%. Christchurch has a lot to answer for-or perhaps for us to be thankful for!!!

Pania Toastmasters - Where Leaders are Made!

Hi,
An excellent meeting today, a little different to normal but still interesting and educational. Jen was our Toastmaster (her first time after many months with the Club) and she ran the meeting particularly well with some well constructed comments between items and keeping the meeting to time with the assistance of Timekeeper Noel. A great effort Jen.(Jen had an excellent Tribute to Anzac Day ,poem, on the back of her program, written by a family member google “with their hair a little whiter, they step not quite so sure” and read it.)

Give it a Go!

Hello Pania members
Another busy and absorbing meeting today, with 13 members present, including our newest member, Pip Green, who will be inducted into the Club next week.

Girls Can Do Anything

Apparently that’s right!! and particularly so if you have “The Perfect Shot” at it?

Hi to all Pania members and others reading this email, our meeting today was another great example of what Pania  Toastmaster’s Club does week in and week out, education, entertainment and enjoyment in great “mouthfuls".
