What an evening! A full house! A buzzing atmosphere! Some of us had to stand at the back to ensure we did not miss out on the action. My head is still spinning!!!
We had well over 30 people at the meeting on Monday night; you knew it was going to be a great evening.
Karl Howe took up the challenge of being the Toastmaster of the evening for the first time, and delivered the seasoned performance of an experienced Toastmaster. We all knew what cars we were - I am the Hummer 2 (and I have the picture to prove it), presence, class and luxury - what are you! A superb example of good preparation and introducing guests. We should all take leaf out of Karl's book on this one. Well done to Karl for entertaining us and smoothly flowing the meeting.
Warren Sheng's tabletopics were sublime, and covered a variety of topics from the Telegraph - a treat for all you avid readers of this broadsheet. Quality topics to which the participants had plenty to say - we could not get them off the stage!!! I have heard that there is new bug going around Harrovians this year, diagnosed as the "ILPS" bug - "I Love Public Speaking!" Beware it is infectious!!!
What a rare treat to have 3, yes 3, advanced speeches, from Naren simplifying the mysteries of credit card security, from Saley the illogically logical, and the in rhythm and rhyme Angela. I am looking forward to the next meeting.
The speech ribbon went to Saley for a fantastically prepared, delivered logic conundrum - an actor in the making!
The table topics and the evaluator’s ribbons both went to Khandee - this must be a first - 2 ribbons in one evening - and he is making a habit of collecting ribbons.
Don't forget the club competition on Monday 31 March. Volunteers are needed to help organise this evening - please Let Tony Lazar know your availability.
Harrovians are hosting the annual gala dinner for the Area this year, to be held on 6th July this year. Details and the menu have been emailed to everyone, and are also downloadable from this site. This will be an excellent opportunity to meet, socialise and network with other clubs in the area. Book early to avoid missing out later.
