What a fantastic debut meeting in our brand new venue! Despite the wet weather we were well attended by our members and also new and returning guests. Terry Pullin was our acting President for the evening and got the meeting off to an energetic start.
Our Toastmaster for the evening was Prateek. Prateek was doing the toastmaster role for the very first time. He came across as a veteran though as he expertly guided us through the evening’s proceedings. Assisting Prateek in running the meeting was Sandra (first time) time keeper, Yvonne (first time) grammarian and Nadia as vote counter.
In our prepared speech section, we had three speeches ranging from ice breaker to advanced manual. Isabelle gave her maiden speech, and took us on a journey from the Netherlands to the UK. Alex was giving his number four speech, took us behind the scenes of a games developer. Our VP of Education Fahad, speaking from an advanced manual gave us an inspirational argument for helping refugees in need.
Evaluating, we had Stephen for Isabelle, Eleanor for Alex and Terry evaluating Fahad’s speech.
Introducing the guests was done by our VP Mentorship Edwin. As always we had a good number of new and returning guests.
The second half of the meeting was led by Eleanor, doing the Table topics master role for the first time. Eleanor gave an array of coffee related questions which all our participants thoroughly enjoyed answering. The evaluations for the table topics were carried out by our very own Joyce who gave enthusiastic and insightful evaluations to all our participants.
Our General evaluator for the evening was Samantha Sherwood, President of the ACCA members Breakfast club. Samantha gave some great recommendations on how to make use of our new venue as well as other helpful hints to make us a stronger club. We hope to welcome her back very soon to see how we have progressed.
