Tuesday 26th July George was Toastmaster with the theme of dreams. He told the audience his dream of making a million pounds a year on his Ugandan Farm. George had a team to assist him, Stephen was timekeeper. Cleo was Sergeant At Arms. Tatiana was Harkmaster and Romain was Grammarian introducing Euphoria as word of the day.
There were three speeches on the night. First was Bruna with her first speech as a member. Bruna told us of a difficult period in her life when she was 15. Rather than be labelled a victim, a strong and resilient Bruna told the audience how she has overcome these events to “turn her poison into medicine”.
Lawrence was next on stage delivering speech two ‘organise your speech’. With a powerful swing and a golf club as a prop, Lawrence informed the audience how he likens Golf to life; how failure is part of success, and passion is one of the most important elements to maintain.
Third on stage was Eleanor delivering her 6th speech focusing on ‘vocal variety’. Her speech began with the inspiring story of Gladys Cooper who at 113 was one of the oldest people in the UK. Outlining the events in Gladys life, and the changes in society that she experienced, Eleanor stated that age should not be thought of as a number, but more a value. An inspirational speech about reframing age in society.
The second half of the meeting was hosted by Christophe providing volunteers with topics for impromptu speaking which were based around the topics of morality and spirituality. Questions ranged from what kind of personality God might have to whether it’s ok to not tell the truth. Challenging questions with very creative and funny impromptu answers. Annabel then evaluated all impromptu speeches providing each speaker with commendations and recommendations.
