Spoken Word

This group gives members an opportunity to come together and through short oral presentations share their interests with others. Two sessions are held each month – a morning session 10 am on the first Tuesday of the month and an evening session 7.30 pm on the first Wednesday of the month. These sessions are held in the convenors’ home.

Usually, three speakers per meeting prepare and present a short talk on a topic of interest e.g., a hobby, work, the arts, history, science, travel, current affairs, personal reflections, memoir, biographies, family history, television program, theatre, book review, links or copies of newspaper or magazine articles, an excerpt from an author or poet’s work, a piece of their own creative writing – fiction, non-fiction, poetry etc. The session is followed by a cuppa and chat.
