Great Port Adelaide Rostrum meeting on Tuesday 28th July 2026.

Superbly chaired by Helen Bowen, the meeting opened with an interesting ‘icebreaker’ from Charlie Reed titled, ‘memories of your first car and something quirky about it’. Some great responses, both thoughtful and entertaining.

The major speaking program, created by Program Director, Peter Perry, then asked speakers to deliver an eight minute speech utilising three random words as part of the speech. All speakers did a great job with this quite challenging task.

Coach Paul Wilkins provided valuable feedback on the speeches, and the meeting more generally, and awarded the Dolphin Award for the night to Bob Pearce.

A very entertaining and useful meeting where everyone learnt some valuable insights into different speaking styles.

Will it never end?! We certainly hope not! Yet another great meeting at Rostrum Port Adelaide Club!
A 'musical' themed evening, with Charlie sharing his view of West Side Story, admitting that while he hadn't seen the musical, his research had convinced him to do so!
Bob had an interesting take on what was for many of us the simple storyline of South Pacific. As often happens in Bob's speeches, he unpacked the seemingly benign plot to uncover the messages about racism and 'invasion'.
Peter entertained us with his description of the trials and tribulations that Tevye experienced in Fiddler on the Roof and his empathy with Tevye.
And perhaps the most exciting part of the meeting was the induction of our new member, Mira, who made her first About Me speech. Well done, Mira, and welcome to Rostrum Port Adelaide. We are looking forward to learning more about you and from you through your speeches.

Yet another great meeting at Port Adelaide Rostrum on Tuesday night!
Club members and visitors enjoyed a program of varied speaking tasks, including:
• An icebreaker (where members get to briefly respond to a topic, warm up their brain cells AND leave the rest of the world ‘outside’);
• prepared speeches; and
• some impromptu speaking- such a useful skill for our business and community lives.
Rostrum’s underpinning object is that it holds an educational ideal...a place where making mistakes is actually encouraged, and can be learned from – aided by specific feedback from a very supportive Rostrum-trained Coach.
Why not visit us?
It’s possibly true that in winter, the view of the Lake through our meeting room window is not quite as gorgeous as our cover photo depicts … but the meeting room is very warm and inviting, with ample parking.

The SA/NT Rostrum Zone President, Margaret Davidson, doesn’t just lead the zone with distinction. She also practices what she preaches and delivers outstanding speeches.
Last Tuesday (28/4/26) Margaret won the Port Adelaide Rostrum ‘Dolphin Award’ for delivering the best speech of the night.
You can see how much this meant to Margaret by looking at the photos attached…. we couldn’t wipe the smile off Margaret’s face‼️
An excellent meeting with several different speaking styles on display and well chaired by Charlie Reed.
