there were plenty of strong competitors in this years club table topic contest,
our winner and runner-up were two of Fairfield's newest additions. Abs Saadi took
out 1st place and the runner-up was Vince Tzortzis. Unfortunately Abs is unable
to attend the Area 20 contest which means that Vince will be proudly representing
us. We're all certain you'll do very well. Good luck Vince. |

| When
Annemarie Pinnington joined Fairfield Toastmasters in April this year, she never
guessed that she would win the club Humorous Speech Contest and go on to represent
Fairfield at the Area 20 Humorous Speech Contest. But on Saturday 23rd September
Annemarie took the stage before an audience of 75 Toastmasters and gave a hugely
entertaining and funny speech about the perils of growing up with brothers. In
her speech titled 'CHILDHOOD MEMORIES' Annemarie shared some of her riotous experiences
of being the only girl in her family and how her brothers used her as a guinea
pig in experiments … one of which was jumping off the roof of their house
using only an umbrella as a flotation device. Annemarie gave a poised and confident
performance and was announced the runner up in the contest. Congratulations Annemarie
on a wonderful achievement. |

Marieon..... |

| Representing
Fairfield in the Area 20 Table Topics Contest on Saturday was Marieon Schauer.
The topic was 'Knowledge is Power' and Marieon used a personal anecdote to highlight
the point, power in the wrong hands can be dangerous. While Marieon didn't take
home the coveted Trophy she gave an articulate and well-structured response. Those
of us present from Fairfield were very proud of her performance … well done
Marieon. |

New
Executive Committee (posted June 2006) The
incoming Executive for the Toastmaster year 2006-2007 was installed by Area 20
Governor Adrian Watts. The official ceremony was conducted at the club's meeting
room at Club Marconi on Tuesday 6th June 2006. After the meeting, members and
guests enjoyed a wonderful "changeover dinner" at the Chinese restaurant
housed within the Marconi Club. The
outgoing executive lead by President Ken Kitson, did a great job of achieving
10 out of 10 goals in the Distinguished Club Program. This earned Fairfield Toastmasters
"President's Distinguished" status. A job worthy of our recognition
and praise. Well done. They were discharged of their duties by outgoing Area 20
Governor, Rafic Awad. Of course the new team begins the year with a clean slate
and is looking forward to the challenge ahead. A
list of the executive members and their respective
responsibilities can be found within these pages. |
