Toastmaster Julie asked fellow toastmasters if they
knew Australians call themselves "The Lucky Country".
She suggested that "NZ is the VERY Lucky Country" and
asked Toastmasters to share their good luck
with those less fortunate by supporting the
City Mission Foodbank.
Bard Will ,read a fabulously humourous literary
piece that had his audience roaring with laughter.
Great choice Will and your stunning Bard will be
hard to beat by future Bards.
Three very fine speeches tonight:
1st Speaker Shailesh with "Living with cluster"
gave us an in-depth look at 'cluster headaches'
CH is one of the most painful types
of headache and commonly awakens you in the
middle of the night with intense pain in or around
one eye on one side of your head. Cluster periods
may last from weeks to months and there appears
to be no cure to date. A very interesting speech
Shailesh which will add to our knowledge. Well done.
2nd Speaker Carolina, with "Across the US of A -
More than a Road Trip (Part 1)" took us on a 50 State
illustrated adventure across thousands of miles of
gorgeous scenery and and tales of climbing mountains
and walking till she dropped..
Her speech inspired us to want to get out
and explore the beauty of America - but NOT to encounter
Minnesota's unofficial State Bird - the mosquito!!
Great welcome back speech, Carolina and we look
forward to the next speech in your trilogy.
3rd Speaker Leigh with "The Dating Game" told us that
if and when "we find ourselves on the heap again" we
should "sit back and relax and let Cupid do the work".
She suggested when looking for a new mate that we try
not to appear desperate and wondered why some
scientist hasn't invented an "anti-desperation roll-on".
Leigh described a hilarious dating chat-up line she
endured in London where her would-be suitor asked
her "guess a number". "Seven", she said. "Wrong",
he said, "Get your clothes off". How gallant is that?
He advice is to be cool not deperate.
Such a great humourous speech Leigh . Very
entertaining and a rollicking good laugh for us all.
Fabulous speech from a great speaker.
