What a start we got off to at our first meeting of Spinnaker Speakers.
It was almost standing room only as Toastmasters and guests came out to launch this new club.
The meeting was an abridged version of a normal meeting to introduce prospective members to Toastmasters and give plenty of time to answer questions and hopefully get some to sign up.
Brent Crouch from Solent Speakers gave his CC3 speech, which was ably evaluated later in the evening by John Webber again of Solent Speakers, while Louise Hockaday gave an overview of the Toastmasters programme with her talk "Understanding Toastmasters".
Coffee and good conversation flowed during the networking break as we took full advantage of our venue and the hospitality of our hosts, Richard and Carole, proprieters of Sellers Coffee House.
A successful meeting was rounded off by signing up 3 members - a great start to what we hope will be a great club.
