Final meeting for 2008
Business Talk's final meeting for 2008 took place on Thursday 11 December - everyone got to have their final say for the year with a rolling story of gigantic proportions and the hotly contested traditional Christmas Debate. This year's Christmas Debate was won by the all girl team Jo Stephenson and Vivien Ellard (seen here giving the trophy some love!) who narrowly beat Rosetta Muscatt and George O'Keeffe. Sadly, Rosetta announced she is passing on the Club President's mantle while she focuses on her health but luckily she will continue as a club member. Rosetta has inspired us all with her drive and determination and has shown us that passion and sincerity are winning ingredients in public speaking.
Business Talk Toastmasters is a local chapter of Toastmasters International. The club has been helping people develop their presentation and leadership skills for over 10 years. The club has about 30 members made up of men and women from government departments and business enterprises.
