Meeting – Tuesday 3 July 2012

As a club we achieve a lot together. Toastmaster Rhonda can be proud of achieving a well organised meeting today. And with some standout performances from Troy Martin and Tony Hartigan, we can be proud of the talent coming through this club. Clinton had a great epiphany as the general evaluator and summed up his experience of the meeting as ‘coming home’, like being at a favourite cafe or restaurant – it just feels good to be here.
