12th April Meeting Summary

Not everyone was away spring cleaning or celebrating festivals like Passover and Easter, which meant we had a great turnout plus guests. Three were members of Women in Banking and Finance Speakers – City; Eileen, Shola and Nadine. 

Paul A opened the meeting handing over to our president Lynne C who referenced the latest TM Magazine in her opening speech, relating top tips for innovation to speaking. 

Janet T feeling pretty rough with flu, but hiding it well, was our TM. She was still incredibly energetic! New member Prakash P was our 'forgetful' timekeeper.

Marcin  T ran an interesting TT session calling upon non TM guest  Robert (Janet's husband) with ‘how many real friends do you have’, followed by returning member Marc L ‘lets not focus on history' followed by Lynne C ‘being president changed my life' then last but not least Anne B 'onwards and upwards’.  Hannah V, Carol W, David L and David W evaluated. 

Lynne's little story won her best TT of the night.  (Freddie D handed Lynne her award and suddenly got camera shy! So unlike Freddie!)

Our prepared speakers were Bob F repeating his CC no:2 FEAR, ‘false evidence appearing real’. 

Paul A, who enthusiastically interpreted 12th night. Project 4 from Interpretive Reading.

Cat K’s after dinner speech on ‘Time',  project 5 from Entertaining  Speaking, won her best speaker of the night. (She was pleased as punch and loved receiving the award).

Hannah V evaluated Bob with thoughtful C’s and R's. 

David L’s evaluation of Paul's speech won him best evaluator. 

Freddie D comprehensively evaluating Cat ran out of time. Oh no!!
