We were pleased to welcome a reasonable amount of members, old and new, to the Circle last night. We appreciated the work of our Hon.Secretary, Maureen Barnes, in preparing a range of passages from a variety of sources. Members were able to practice the skills, of using appropriate breathing, tone and projection of voice in order to bring out the meaning of what they were reading more clearly.
Maureen reminded members of the deadline dates for Speaking competition Festivals locally, which were Belfast, 20th November and Laganside, 12th December.
The topic for the meeting on Monday 9th November, will be 'Language thrives through change' . You will be most welcome to bring along your ideas as to whether or not, for example your grandparents would appreciate to-day's variations on language usage.
Until next Monday then, and hoping to see the regulars and some absent friends come along.
