October 22nd saw our second meeting, but our first true meeting, with a full complement of speakers, evaluators etc.
Again it was a packed house as we were regaled by three excellent speakers. Vasi Vakil, a Spinnaker member, gave his Icebreaker "I cannot do this", before Sharon Smithson told us of her job as a disability guide, and Gordon Aspey (Arun Speakers) had us in stitches with his CC5 speech "This car doesn't turn left."
Despite the abridged networking break members were still able to sample the coffee and cakes on offer, even taking them back to continue enjoying them through the second half of the meeting.
We started with a fun Table Topics session before settling down to the evaluations.
At our first meeting several guests had indicated they wished to join and it was pleasing to see all those who had so advised did so, taking our membership after just two meetings to 10, already half way to our target of 20, with others expressing a wish to join at future meetings
