'WAITANGI DAY with PETER RABBIT"

Waitangi Day with Peter Rabbit.
These were the subjects of Table Topics, conducted by Linda and a bard reading from Helen.
There were 12 members at the meeting, plus a guest, Anna who is a Toastmaster and has recently moved to Napier from Auckland.

'"DRINK RAW JUICE AND FEEL ALIVE"

This was the title given by Helen for her "Research your topic" speech today & what a speech it was!

It came from a book by Dr Sandra Cabot and was all about eating the right food, more specifically, raw

juices. Excellent information that was told with enthusiasm. Helen has lost weight already!

WELCOME TO 2016!

Today, Pania Toastmasters commenced their 2016 programme with an 'Impromptu' meeting arranged and chaired in very efficient style by Graeme. While this was called an 'impromptu' meeting major participants had been forewarned of their tasks, which made for an entertaining and extremely worthwhile meeting.

"WHAT A GIFT THAT WAS!"

Thursday 10th December, saw Pania Toastmasters having their last meeting of the year, and what a 'gift' of a meeting it was, being the last meeting it was as usual run by the President Helen, who performed her role admirably, Helen was the only 'official of the day' keeping time as well!!

'HELLO WORLD"

“Hello World” was the speech that kicked off our last meeting. Darryl told us about some challenging times he was trying to speak different languages around the world. He found the French were intolerant of foreign speakers, and once a French chef made him repeat his order correctly three times before he could get his food! A good choice of topic for a speech from the Humorously Speaking advanced manual.

"THE POWER OF RESOLUTION for WATER EXPORTS"

Another great meeting of Pania Toastmaster's today capably overseen by Toastmaster of the day Jane, who had a well constructed programme that allowed everyone to speak and to finish on time.

"HAVE THE LAST LAUGH"

That was the title of the first of the two great speeches that kicked off our last meeting on Thursday 19th November.
