Derek we are proud of you.

What more can I say !! It was a truly delectable evening !!

Linda and Beauty were voted in as our newest members, Lusanda had his first go as a speech evaluator, and we spoke about most colours of the rainbow (without actually mentioning it)

It was All in a day's fishing !!

Abisha-that comment about the total duration of the entire meeting (as part of your timer's report), was an absolute gem !!

Pauline (our Canadian member)-when will you be visiting us? Hopefully it will be in time for one of our July meetings!

I would like to suggest that we continue with the practise of all Speech Evaluators spending a few minutes together (during the break) sharing notes as far as their respective evaluations are concerned (I will leave the final decision up to them) . We are going through a stage of bringing New Speech Evaluators into the fold, I am sure such a short get together will be of great use to any first time evaluators.

We hope to see you all at our next meeting on the 1^st July.

Derek

We had 22 people at the meeting, including a number of guests - 2 of whom have joined up and paid in their fees! Welcome to Beauty and to Linda - we hope that you have a very rewarding stay with us in Protea.
A few more people have indicated their interest in joining, so we are looking forward to an even more active club in the new Toastmaster's year.
Chris ran a good meeting, and although the rain caught us off guard, it forced us to adapt and use our vocal chords to be heard.
Abisha had prepared some good Table Topics, and the prepared speeches were all of high quality. A particular "Well Done" to Shaun who has completed his Competent Communicator award. His speech inspired us all to keep on growing in the art of public speaking - we are all works in progress.
Derek has achieved his Advanced Leader Bronze award - well done.

We have a new set of officers for the new year, and these will appear on the website after the 1st July. Thank you to everyone who is willing to contribute to the smooth running of the club.

Colin
