Meeting Report 16th February
On a wet and wild night Holborn turned on a great show for the many guests who visited. In a welcome return to the fold Holborn Speaker’s own Freddie Daniells led the evening as toastmaster. He showed the style and energy that has propelled him to the upper echolons of the TM organisation in the UK. Femi started the speeches with an examination of the why’s and why nots of snoring. Happily with Femi on the stage the audience wasn’t doing any snoring of their own. Auguste then spoke about the perils of believing in IQ tests, and sounded very clever doing so.
In table topics Martin gave us a chance to be persuasive. That is to lie outrageously. How would you convince somebody of something that isn’t really true? There were some outstanding efforts. James took the prize by explaining that for all the good intentions he was just too English to try to get a woman’s number on a train. Ratan also made a welcome return to action evaluating the 10(!) Topics speakers. The night was rounded off with a general evaluation from Christopher Hall, our area governor, who took a unique but effective approach to the role. An enjoyable evening was had by all, the next one is on the 2nd of March.
