Julie took the chair and Adam gave us an accomplished 10-minute maiden speech on Health and Safety. A guest came along to give Adam moral support and gave us a highly amusing impromptu speech. We look forward to seeing him at future meetings.
Our team, Suzanne, Jim, Carol and Lisa ran through their entry for the Kent Hopper Cup team-speaking competition at Gillingham on 23rd June. The theme of the competition is A Moment In Time. It was a polished performance, followed by an audience feedback session. We wish them all the best and they go into the competition well placed to win!! Go Chaucer!!
Leon returned to the Club and chaired a challenging impromptu-speaking session. The theme was holidays and topics included ‘What do you think about when travelling?’, ‘Trips that haven’t gone to plan’, ‘Do you want to be a hobo travelling the world? Leon conjured them up from quotes by famous authors. It was great fun and novel.
It was a really enjoyable evening despite over-running slightly. Our evaluators highlighted speaker’s strengths and gave some suggestions for improvement. Some serious work was done honing our skills.
Our next and final meeting of this speaking season is on 5th July.
