Humorous & Table Topics Comp

Well done to our two Humorous Speech competitors, Gabe and Peter. You both had the whole meeting in stitches with your cheeky speeches. 

Unfortunately there can only be one winner and that winner was Gabe Alves, with his speech detailing the benefits of sitting next to him on a plane. Congratulations Gabe!

Gabe & Peter

All three of our fierce table topics competitors Alison, Rob and Dietmar answered the question "If you could invite anyone (dead or alive) to a BBQ, who would you invite?". However, it was Alison who took out the prize for the best response. Congratulations Alison, I am sure you had everyone in the meeting hoping they were the 'buddy' you'd invite to your BBQ along with Rowan Atkinson and Evonne Goolagong!

 

Dietmar, Rob & Alison

  Just quietly, we're all still very intrigued about the antics that would occur at Robs BBQ, with Tina Turner and Freddie Mercury invited!

Jam Packed July

Our second meeting in July was absolutely jam packed.

We were lucky enough to have a very special guest, Peter Law who upon winning the International Speech Competition, was kind enough to come and show us how it's done!

Here is an action shot of Peter performing his award winning speech 'The World needs more Bricklayers'.

It's no wonder he won! The judges must have been terrified! ;)

 

 

As well as this, Maree delivered an Educational speech on Contest Judging, as preparation for our Humorous and Table Topics Competition next meeting. If you would like to nominate yourself as a contestant for this competition, please contact Jesse Channell via email (jessiechannell@gmail.com). Remember, as Maree stated you don't necessarily have to be a 'funny' person - it's all about your delivery!

We learned a great deal about David Boyle as he delivered his Icebreaker speech this morning. Who would have thought it was his first speech?! Well done David, you are a natural.

Our other David, David Fisher posed the question 'Is the Mining Boom really over?' in an informative speech titled 'A new Venture'.

Our final speaker for the day was Gavin, who gave us some extremely valuable driving tips, complete with Lynette as his 'crash test dummy'. We learned to brace for impact with bent arms and legs, always stay 5 seconds behind the car in front and to always be aware of your surroundings.

We wave goodbye to Lynette for 10 weeks as she travels through Europe. Enjoy your trip Lynette, we look forward to hearing all about it upon your return.

See you all bright and early on the 30th of July.
