Meeting on the 17th Double Workshop, language by Arun and Club Growth by Siva



My opening speech was about the one member who started the club and wanted a full house. (A story from Raymond?)

Our club has several selling points. British English accent and impeccable grammar and spelling from Angela Lansbury. 

American English from Faith. Mandarin to explain things to Mandarin speakers from Faith.

2019-2020 Siva said our club is notable for its evalutions with useful suggestions including English language (grammar tips and pronunciation) whilst some in house clubs the evaluators are told not to discourage the workers which discourages the evaluators from giving helpful suggestions.

Sam Chou, VPE of West coast, said he wants to emulate Faith's speeches, he quipped I have faith in the club. and listen to Angela's (British) accent.

We had two workshops.

November 2023 UK District   Table Topics  I was second for Harrovians (Lauren of my other club, HOD, was first) The topic was - I woke to hear my dog talking. I said what a wonderful topic, just right for me, because I have written a book on this subject. I was inspired by a member of the monkey or ape family which learned 300 words in captivity. The baby listened in and also learned the words. Humorous speech contest I was third (despite being shut out of the contest half way though my speech) My speech was on language.
