We were bedazzled by colours and flags from around the globe. Our chairman Maria stole the show donning a multi-coloured feathered hat and skirt that showcased her Indian and Brazilian heritage!
Not to be outdone, Vikram dressed up in full French revolutionary attire, as he slashed his way through his table topic.
Ted wore a large green tie entitled “Kiss me I’m Irish” that went down to his knees, which generated more than a few laughs as he talked about pint size folk…
The word of the day provided by Teddy was “motley”, an apt word to describe the scene on display.
Kevin kicked off the formal speeches reminding us of the importance and relevance of attending meetings and being heard.
Liz came alive with the sound of music, entertaining us with humorous pictures of young children playing instruments and comparing them to members in our club.
Audrey entertained us with a tale about France, food and the way to Frenchman’s heart.
Clare talked about getting the lymph node going, Cristina in turn got the crowd going by adding “have sex – a great way to get the lymph node going!”
On a more sedate note, Joy talked about her experience with Alpha.
Aurora returned us to a jovial keel, entertaining us with a hilarious story about drunk ducks toppling over.
In table topics, Mandy tantalised our taste buds us with plum wine and seasonal foods of China.
Hazel put on a thick Yorkshire accent and Alex pronounced he is a banana – yellow on the outside and white on the inside – his favourite food: fish and chips.
Roger got us thinking about Black Pete and how the Dutch are labelled as racist.
Chris ran the business session thanking his “motley” crew for their efforts and welcoming in the new lot.
Our next meeting is on the 14th of July. Anji will be the new President to welcome us in to her new term.
See you all next time.
Signing off – the man in the hat…
Thanks to Joy Z for the photos!
