Hi all, a balmy evening in a denuded library would describe the scene of the last Rangiora Toastmasters meeting for 2007. The air was toastie and the library had been stripped out for a repaint over the holidays. A jovial meeting in a huge empty hall, strange but fun.
Norma was MC and had organized things to perfection – and made things run perfectly as well – great bridging. Erika delivered her practice 10th speech on Christmas in Switzerland – they get two shots at it over there apparently – the 6th and the 25th of December! Her real full on #10 CTM speech will be delivered early in the new year. Doug revealed his latent local body politician persona by leading a lively discussion on the merits of the Rangiora pool options. Oh yes – I can sense that we will be hearing more on this subject. We had a good dose of time available for table topics and so just about everyone present had a go. Good to see Pam, Brian and Michelle back and so keen to get into TT’s – absence makes the heart grow fonder obviously and they used their allotted times with relish. Even new – about to be member, Ray - really got into it tonite. Can see some valuable contributions to the club coming from him some time soon. Kev was GE but has escaped being TM next week – he’ll no doubt do the honours early in 08. Club goal for next year – at least 1 education every fortnight. Next Tuesday? 7.30pm at Robbies, Rangiora, we’ll have a few drinks, dissect the year gone and maybe chat about the one coming. Hope to see you then, Tim.
