Hope this email finds you in good
form, and looking forward to seeing you at our next TM meeting on the 21st
November!!! At our last meeting, Steve was our Toastmaster for the evening, and
took charge of the evening from the outset.
After some minor jiggling of the
agenda Richard had us under starters orders, and yes we were then off out of
the starting blocks.
Phillip cantered us through the warm up “what was our first thought, when we found out Barrack Obama had renewed his presidency”. Explaining the role well, and holding no prisoners (if we went over time we knew about it!)

Katy reminded us of the need to
make sure that we all respond promptly by email to assist Manoj in managing the
almighty task managing the agenda for each meeting, and we should all make sure
that we assist Manoj, by making sure we respond promptly to Manoj’s emails
regarding roles.
Lucinda showed her true
versatility of stepping in at short notice to be our timer for the evening, we
were all impressed by her standard of clear and consise delivery.
We were all pleased to welcome Milen to our club as a new member. Welcome to Milen!!

Ali was unable to make the
meeting, but he is a new member too, so two new members to our club!!
Chris had clearly been listening very well throughout the evening, as he delivered his very thorough and extensive report as grammarian.
Katy gave her Tip of the Day “What gets measured gets done!”
Outa, gave us a very interesting speech on the European Union, and her views on it winning the Global peace prize. A clear, well paced speech which we could follow from start to finish. Her speech was well timed, thought prevoking, and particularly poignant with armistice day coming up. We learnt that the European Union had been granted the Nobel Peace prize. It made me think, yes if the creation of the European Union established just after the second world war, and its aim amongst other things was to bring peace to member states, and bring member states close together, then after nearly 70 years of peace in Europe, then on the face of it, it has certainly achieved its aim.

Natasha took us on a journey, of
office life. A well chosen and
appropriate subject which we could all identify with, and judging by the
giggles coming from the audience we could all identify with some of the
characters she was describing!
Richard gave us a very personal
speech about how he had been inspired by Julie on his journey of developing his
public speaking.
After the break we were all
entertained by a different style of table topics introduced to us by
Julie. She motivated and inspired us all
to be more daring and inspiring in our off the cuff stories, so that the second
time we did it, it was even more fun. The meeting finished on time. Can’t wait for our next meeting on the 21st
November! Hope to see you there.
