Thanks to our members and the team at the Mosset Tavern for a wonderful evening of entertainment with a bit politics thrown in. It must have been in the air.
Our Toastmaster Veerle Van Den Eynden took the mood from the political situation and chose co-operation as our theme of the evening. We had a spirited warm up where members were given the opportunity to speak to the three party leaders and offer advice.
Some of these in the moment comments were priceless, and it is only after that you wish it could have been recorded and really passed on the men in question.
Our Time keeper Claire Hayes gave us a description of the changing speed of time and went on to explaining the important or working withing time.
Gilda Westerman our Grammarian gave us the words to “intend” or ”intention” to use and include throughout the evening.
