Hallowe'en Celebrations at the Circle.

Hello Blog readers, the Speakers' Circle was pleased to welcome a reasonable turn out of regular members and a guest, last night, Monday 26th October, the theme was, Hallowe'en inspired activities.   The President had previously invited members to bring in their favourite scary stories or poems, topical quizzes and so on.    Well talking of scary?,  members and guest were invited one by one, to occupy the 'hot seat' at the front of the hall, and respond to 20 questions on a topic of their choice or to take 'pot-luck'.   This was bravely undertaken, with, mostly, no help from the audience.  Anyhow, it was a fun excercise and encouraged the memory circuits into activity.   Connor and William obtained the highest scores.    Other quizzes, needing lateral thinking and creativity, were organized by our Hon Sec. Maureen.   The evening concluded with some great Hallowe'en fare.
 
Next Monday 2nd November - we will be practising some sight-reading activities and the week after that, the topic will be 'Language thrives through change'.   So in preparation perhaps you could bring along some articles which contain language that your grandparents might not have understood?  Do the changes, make communication any clearer one wonders?
 
As usual we look forward to your joining us on the above evenings.  You will be made most welcome.
