Our chair JR used the theme of grammar and delighted us with snippets from
the book – ‘Have you eaten Grandma’ by Gyles Brandreth
Introductions were to the question: ‘Is there anything that really annoys you about grammar?’
For our inspiration, CLW read ‘Poem with a Limp’ by Roger McGough.
Ah Counter – DM, Timer – CLW
Wordmaster – LG with the word ‘terrific’
The prepared speeches were as follows:
TH with ‘Never again’ evaluated by CAW
JW with ‘Me, Myself and I’ evaluated by DM
Our Two Minute Topics master SR asked members
to pick a word or abbreviation from the hat including:
Pig, Hare, UHT, BSE, LBW, BBC, USA

There was no Best Speech award as there were
only two speeches
