Guests Larry and Colin
Meeting Theme - People who changed the World - Henry Ford
Word of the Day - Carte Blanche - unlimited authority
Sgt@Arms: Graeme gave a professional Health and Safety check together with Fire Drill briefing
Toastmaster Will kept the meeting on its time track and used his theme to tell us all sorts of interesting things about Henry Ford, his assemblyline invention and various little sayings attributed to him such as the one above.
Grammarian - Julie introduced her Word of the Day - Carte Blanche- with a potted history of the origins of the English language
and distributed a list of phrases that could be used instead of the word "SO".
1st speaker - Chris wth "Memories" told us about being in a house fire as a teenager and a terrifying army plane trip with his father. A vivid look into his past that non-one in his audience envied. Scarey but great speech, Chris. Well done.
2nd speaker - Sherini with "Just makes total sense" performed a radio interview about her new estate agent career with the help of Michael picking up the role of Radio Interviewer beautifully. Sherini also had a Q&A for her audience posing as "radio listners". A very professional performance by both toastmasters. Excellent job.
Tabletopicsmaster - Gail encouraged a happy bunch of toastmasters to give of their best-
- Pauline, Greg, Judy and Larry all did their impromptu speeches very well.
Timer:- Tracey first time out of the traps did a great job as Timer.
Well done everybody
