The regular monthly lunch meeting of Beverley Westwood Probus Club was today enlivened by the appearance of our speaker, Nicola Henderson, one of the few ladies on the register of the Association of the UK School of Professional Toastmasters.
Resplendent in her immaculate livery of red tail coat, white shirt, with wing collars and pointed waistcoat, black shoes and trousers she gave members a well presented, interesting talk about the historic origins and subsequent development of her craft, the strict disciplines, understanding of etiquette and other skills necessary and the pit falls to be avoided.
The interest generated was demonstrated by the number of questions raised from the audience after which our President, Les McLaughlin proposed a vote of thanks which was warmly received by our members.
Nicola, who lives in Walkington, can be contacted through “The Toy Gallery” in Ladygate, Beverley or at www.eastyorkshiretoastmaster.co.uk .
Members are reminded of the next coffee morning on 22nd August and lunch meeting on the 05th September when the speaker will be Sam Walton subject “Travels in the Far East”.
