'Freedom' - 21/7/21

As the Covid ‘freedom day’ arrived this week, first time Toatsmaster Paul decided Freedom would be a great theme for the evening.

We started with 3 very varied speeches. First up was Kim with a speech about learning a flamenco style dance in Spain, followed by a speech that married mindfulness, drumming and Toastmasters, 3 things that you wouldn’t think would work together, but did, and lastly Peter entertained us with a speech about his favourite pastime, hiking.

In the second half we had a fun time with imaginative Table Topic questions coming from our VPE committee member Karen Lee, and as we had a little time we stretched it to 8 Table Topics which meant that everyone in the meeting had spoken at some point in the evening.
