Bay of Islands Toastmasters meeting prevailed , despite the wild, wooly, stormy night last Thursday, with everyone zooming in to attend

It was fabulous fun, with no weather waffle needed.
Instead, there was lots of positivity, encouraging feedback, wonderful speeches, including a practice speech as the brother of a grooms wedding, and a concocted entertaining, and delightful acceptance speech, for the completion of an imaginary Masters Degree. There was also, a down to earth moving speech, that addressed the sombering subject of death, but then the contrast of the beautiful legacy left behind

For Table Topics, there was a mind-twisting feast of questions, covering the meeting theme 'Brain Health', which provoked some very interesting conversations, ideas, and some hilarious creative thinking went into answers, to some questions that sounded like they came straight from Oxford Medical professors. There was something about camel injections, and u could guess where that lead... spitting and biting, or was it kicking, had something to do with the fictitious and inventive response/answer (I hadn't laughed that much in a long time, my jaw was aching)

We also had the pleasure of receiving some additional valuable feedback from Margot, our District Club Retention Chair, who was visiting, by zooming in, as a special guest

Overall, the night was well worth venturing into zoomland for, and we look forward to the next episode.

Our next meeting is planned for Thursday 9th April 2026, 7pm - 9pm, Baptist Church hall, 77 Williams Rd, Paihia ... Hope to see you there 😄👍
