Meeting Review – A Mad Hatter’s Toastmasters Party!
A wonderful evening was had by all on a cold and blustery Thursday night at the German Club!
The theme of the evening was a Mad Hatter’s Toastmasters Party – and Wow! The 18 people who attended really went all out to be crazy mad hatters!
There were a great variety of very interesting hats – from the weird take on the Top hat by our
Area governor Chris Callaghan to a wonderful Pirate hat worn by a guest, Chrisna, (who eventually won the Mad Hatter Prize – presented by a very unbiased Chris Callaghan!
The Toastmaster of the evening, Thomas Bowman, had many mad hatter quotes to
keep the gathering confused and downright mad!
There were 3 fantastic speeches delivered. Diana Kraak used her gestures to describe a marvellous journey, Chris wondered where all the best people had gone (possibly Peninsula Club?!) and Bill Russell from Ernest and Young Club presented a practice speech for his next day’s presentation and made us all believe we had just graduated and the future was full of LEADERS!
After some tasty Mad Hatter snacks, the Evaluators delivered their concise and thoughtful evaluations. Then it was the turn of Diana Kraak to present table Topics – our time to think on our feet. The idea was to draw an item from her little bag of tricks and we had to explain how we used the item. It sure was fun!
Kirsten Pearson peppered and twisted her grammarian slot with many well listened phrases!
Then our President elected the committee for the next Toasties year and the officers were duly chosen. Some brave souls agreed to take up our vacant positions and now we are ready for a very good year next year as Thomas Bowman (president) will lead his team to victory!
It was a fantastic evening full of fun, laughter, good education and everybody participating to make our club the special club it is.
Thank you to everybody for making it so great!
Our next meeting is the 30th June – and I know you will all want to be there!
Thomas Bowman
