The Area N22 contest was held last night, Thursday 11th October at Princess Margaret Hospital (home of the Subiaco Early Birds club).
Competitors were from St Georges Toastmasters, Subiaco Early Birds and UWA clubs with assistance provided by members from the new club; Project Management Institute of WA.
St Georges was represented by Aaron Ross-Connolly in the Humorous and Lynette Delane in the Table Topics.
Aaron won first place and proceeds to the Northern Division Contest on 3rd November. Lynette took second place.
Bright and early a friendly group of motivated individuals start their day at St Georges Toastmasters. Each of our members have joined St Georges for different reasons. Some, to overcome their greatest fear - public speaking; others for networking opportunities and some to learn greater communication skills. The St Georges group are well known for their warm meetings and relaxed approach and with many laughs this early in the morning it is a perfect way to start the day.

It's time for the Toastmasters Leadership Institute (previously known as Club Officer Training).
There is a strong crowd in the South Perth Community Centre Greater Hall.

So Long, Farewell...
As St Georges prepares for its traditional End of Year Dinner celebration, I am reminded of the loss of two great club members from our roster this year.
Bill Milburn has been a member of St Georges since 1992. On passing his 20th year, he announced his "retirement" from Toastmasters.
Bill is an enthusiatic evaluator, a spectacular contestant and was always willing to stick his hand up for any role required (including packing chairs away at CWA house). My most memorable "Billy Boy Moments" are his Vegemite Jar speech and his haunting contest speech on male youth suicide.
Andrew Bolotin has been a member of St Georges since 2004 and a member of Toastmasters long before that. Andrew became District 73 Lt Governor Marketing in 1983, Lt Governor Education and Training in 1984, and District Governor in 1985. It was during his term as District Governor that District 73 earned its full District status.
I will always remember Andrew for his speeches on politics and history. He has an amazing capacity for remembering historical dates and explaining complex social and political issues
in an easy listening style.
Both Andrew & Bill will be remembered by many club members past and present for their enthusiasm, their excellent evaluations and their good and bad jokes.
We will miss them greatly and hope they return to visit us from time to time, even if it's just to tell us a new joke.
Cheers,
Lynette Delane
President 2012-2013, St Georges Toastmasters
