'Patrick Swayze' - 18/8/21

The Toastmaster for the evening, Natalie, picked a rather unusual theme for the evening - Patrick Swayze. Nobody knew what to expect, but she interweaved facts about Patrick and his filmsthroughout the night.

Then Table Topics Master Tim carried the theme with entertaining questions featuring his films that he posed to the group.

We had 3 speakers - CJ did his Icebreaker (his first speech in the club) from the Persuasive Influence pathway, then we had Karen Lee doing a speech about how we need to keep British terms alive, and not bow to the ever pervasive Americanisms, and Houra did a speech called Survive or Thrive from the Persuasive Influence pathway.
