Hollie was off for this meeting, so I’m returning to tell you about our last meeting. We had two prepared speeches – I did one all about what your book recommendations tell me about you. I also had you give me your book recommendations which you can see below if you are looking for your next read:
Nick also spoke with killer advice on writing well – you can tell from this post that I may not have taken all the advice.
Greg ran Table Topics and asked us about stepping outside our comfort zone, and we wrapped up with the usual evaluations.
The roll of honour is:
· Best Speaker: Nick
· Best Evaluator: Adrien
· Best Table Topic: Duaa (a guest)
We had two guests as well:
James
Duaa
Sarah
A massive hello to our newest member, Krystyna as well – welcome to the club
