Monday 12th November

It is so satisfying to attend a meeting with a strong membership. Two score attendance - two new people - and a terrific evening. Well done to the speakers - Dylan gave a strong speech advocating the abolishment almost of the car, whilst Jeannie and Stanley gave very different speeches about air travel. Oliver rounded off the speeches with his work at home and avoid the tube plea. It is worth noting that one of the more difficult speeches is recognised as Level 8 - humour. Stanley's speech was uncharacteristically light-hearted and more than met the requirements for that level. A good pass albeit that level 6 and 7 have yet to be mastered.
Topics took us into our memories of the last time.... in my case jogging! An interesting and inspiring session ably led by Anna who was doing the role for the first time. There are always opportunities to stretch and challenge yourself.... take them! You know the saying about ships being safe in habour... but that is not what a ship is for...... It is fun and entertaining to listen to speeches... but so much more satisfying to deliver a speech, undertake a role and become an active member. Croydon Speakers continues to provide a fantastic experience for speakers at any level. All you need to do.... is come along on the 2nd or 4th Monday of the month.
