October 3rd 2007

Our guest Olga was stressed after work but it eased off gradually in between the variety of topics and exposure to different speaking styles. In his premiere as Toastmaster of the Day, David raised our awareness about the good and bad of stress and the meeting started off quite relaxed with a group yoga chant. As our souls were at ease, Carol Ann, our Table Topics Master, took the chance and inspired us on how to create what we want. It was a moving moment when Luis braved the ice breaker through sharing his deep thoughts with us whilst Christian pointed out the new rules of cyclism on our roads. We also walked away with tips from Chris on how to present our business in 60 seconds. For those who did not attend, you missed yet another session of English humour at its finest with Jeff presenting a multitude of English accents. Our evaluation team (Xavi, Melinda, Edith, Florian, Rose and our surprise guest Area Governor Marie Coutart) committed to their role in highlighting key improvements and achievements of the speakers. As usual, the entertaining meeting continued as we adjourned in the bar next door where we did convert into football hooligans!

See you on October 16^th,
Rose
