2nd April 2007 - Metro Division Speech-a-thon

A big thankyou goes out to everyone that came along and participated in the speech-a-thon. It was a really fun time where we all had a go at giving a speach, evaluation and ended off with some impromptu speaking.

Details of the speechs given are:

Lionel - ATM - Story Telling #2 - I am glad I accepted that invitation

Craig Short - ATM - Humorous #2 - Obsessions Music / Volunteering

Max Warlond - ATM - Fact Finding Report #4 - Do we really care?

Julie Jensen - CTM - #5 - Fear to comfort - comfort to fear

Jennifer Haling - CTM - #4 - Land of Saris & Spice

Scott Evans - ATMB - Humorous #1 - Goals - do you believe in them

Another similar event will be held in a few months so let us know now so we can make the necessary arrangement. We will be limiting the numbers to a maximum of 12 speakers.

If we have a lot of interest, we may organise another one to give every one a chance of participating.
