For anyone who feels shy about joining a Toastmasters group this week's meeting, especially, would have dispelled any fears.
The night, as usual, was a distillation of support, fun and encouragement. It was even more obvious than usual because of the smaller group - summer draws many of the members away.
President Richard Beagle asked everyone what they wanted to achieve that night and everyone accomplished their goals!
New member Phil Walls led an invigorating round of Table Topics (impromptu speeches).
The word of the day was 'portmanteau', and even the winners of the evening ended up as two parts.
Table Topics was the only competition of the evening and the tied winners were Richard and Judy!
