    Katherine reclaims her crown

    By David Langworthy | December 23, 2007

    Wednesday 12th December saw the Wimbledon Speakers annual speech contest.

    8 strongly individual speeches on the given subject ‘Nature’ saw Katherine Inglis come through as a worthy victor.

    We greatly appreciated the wise and perceptive feed-back from the guest judges, Gerard Casale (pictured with Katherine) and Margot Elder.

    Packed out with speakers new and….

    By admin | November 15, 2007

    Last night’s meeting was packed out with an inspiring set of choices for topics followed by a meaty selection of four speakers working on variety of assignments from the ASC Manual.

    Rosa kicked off the speeches with a heartfelt call for intelligence to be applied with wisdom in relations between the Northern and Southern hemispheres of our world, followed by Tony warning of the creeping, insidious instrusion of Big Brother in our lives.

    David, for an advances assignment, told a tale with a clear message that we all can profit from adversity.

    Lastly Peter, in a visual aids assignment, described his business proposition for his methodological approach to  dating (apparently one should have about 20 projects running in parallel!).

    Learn to see how these and other projects, speeches and more develop in the next meeting on 28 November!
