Baby Toasties

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to pass on the wonderful news that our President, Donna Maclagan, has delivered a healthy baby boy – Daniel Ethan weighing 3.1kg! Poor Donna though is suffering from bronchitis together with the physical toll of giving birth, so she probably won’t be able to take visits or phone calls for a while yet, but I’m sure she appreciates any messages.

Also congratulations to Si and Maria Ekin who, on 15 June, became the proud parents of their baby girl called Thapelo Emily (their first). So be carefull of the water at Toastmasters, it might be catchy what with Guy & Christine Lundy pregnant again, as well as ex Toasties, Gavin & Irene Coetzee! Congrats all round.

Whilst I’m here, at the June club where we announced that July’s meeting is the humorous contest. So anyone who would like to participate in the contest please let me know so we can give you speaking priority (please email me). Club is on the 20th of July.

Thanks and have a great week.

Playcon Maxicon – what a Party!

I am sure that all of you who were at Playcon this weekend can only standup and applaud Keryn House and her team. What a fantastic conference! Everybody who missed the conference has really lost out. There were so many highlights that it is difficult to single out a particular event, so I will just mention a few that stuck out to me.
