Dear Blue Tongue members, intending members and guests,
Meeting #128 was the held on Wednesday 14th October. Ying took on the role
of timer and Mark chaired the meeting.

Marcus presented his Word of the Day – ‘Technology’  and encouraged us to
use it through the evening. Geoff hosted the Table Topics session with a
varity of topics, ranging from “What are the down side of Technology” to
the colour Turquoise.  Our performances were evaluated both Dev (our
visitor from IBM ) and Mark. A Thank you and congratulations to all the
vistors who took part in the Table Topics session.

The second half of the evening was kick started by Geoff, who was hosting
the prepared speeches part of the evening. Mark’s assignment was a toast to
the RSPCA organisation. Did you know that that the RSPCA shelter in Yagoona
is the biggest of its kind in the southern hemisphere ?
Our second speaker for the evening was Jason, and the title of his speech
was “Tips learned from the great presenters”. The speech included
techniques and tips to help with the structure of your presentation.

Mark’s speech was evaluated by Ying ( our time keeper ) while Jason’s
speech was evaluated by Mark.

Marcus presented the word count report and was followed by Ying’s timer
report.

Jason then concluded the final assignment for the evening with the Did you
listen  questions.

Our visitors, Deena, Sue, Jitesh, Sirisha and Dev provided feedback on how
they found their visit to the meeting; We invited all to attend our next
meeting on the 28th of October.

Mark  closed the meeting at 7:10pm.
