We learnt that this is connecting with people face to face expressing information, meaning and feelings. It was an engaging evening - members played games and activities including negotiating with each to bargain for possession of the rare Ugli oranges. It was followed up by a master class of artwork, drawing mystery pictures before wrapping up with a game of Spyfall where we had to figure out who the spy was in the group. 😂 #ToastmastersNZ #NewtownTM

Join us at our next club meeting on 14 August - and check out our website for future meeting dates!
