Summer Loving

Summer arrived with a vengeance with temperatures in the high twenties as we met for our first meeting in July. We welcomed our new Area Governor, Tim Rampton, to his first official engagement, and he brought his son Josh, a member from Arun, who was roped in as timekeeper. We also welcomed ex-Solent member Iain Upton.

 

Wendy Benson took the role of Toastmaster and gave a calm and assured performance as she grappled with an agenda full of apologies and gaps. Wendy in a wonderful exhibition of multi-tasking set the word for the evening - jovial - and started the warm up asking what foods we liked in the summer, excluding ice cream. Naturally cool drinks and barbecues were to the fore but some it seems would eat anything, anytime, anywhere, regardless of the season.

Phil Maddocks, also from Arun, gave us the first speech with an entertaining speech about the characters to be found in your local swimming pool.

 

Keith Oliver followed with an educational speech about leadership and service.

 

After the break Robin Chawner and Phil Maddocks gave the evaluations.

 

Tim Rampton set the Table Topics based largely on advice to Josh as he sets out in life with choice of university, choice of career etc., as well as topical issues like a Knighthood for Andy Murray.

Keith Oliver gave the Table Topics evaluation.

 

In the absence of a General Evaluator Wendy asked for comments from the floor, with much praise being given for how she had run the meeting and the fun evening we had had.

Michael John took the lectern to give out the awards. Best Speaker - Phil Maddocks, Best Evaluator - Robin Chawner and Best Table Topics - Iain Upton

Tim Rampton addressed the meeting in his role as Area Governor, emphasising the upcoming Club Officer Training, to which all were invited.

Keith Oliver closed the meeting after first attending to club business, in which he referred to a planned summer social in August and events being held by Solent to which members and guests were invited.
