We had our last speakers' club meeting before Christmas tonight - great fun with four prepared speeches and three rounds of 'Just a Minute'. The latter being even more challenging than Table Topics as we had to speak for a minute without hesitation, repetition or deviation - when I took a turn I was challenged several times as I hesitated and repeated, though I didn't deviate!
I also gave the fourth of the prepared speeches - a story of a Christmas Eve encounter with Father Christmas when I was three years old. I can still remember the horror of being wide-awake when Father Christmas entered the bedroom - and trying to pretend I was asleep so that he would leave me some presents!
