Village Toastmasters ended off a successful year at their last meeting for the year on December 5.
The theme for this year was an Indian Christmas.
Members came dressed according to the theme with ladies in saris and Punjabis and the men also in traditional Indian attire.

The meeting was a full one with all the members participating in the impromptu session. Each member had to speak on a photo from various parts of India, not knowing where or what the image was from.
This proved to be quite entertaining with the members’ various interpretations of the images.
In the end, David Preece was voted as the Best Impromptu speaker for the evening.
As it was the last meeting of the year, the club honoured various members with awards for the hard work and contributions to the club during the year.
