POWERtalk Pollokshields – Home Sweet Home

Meeting on Wednesday 16th October, 2019 in the home of a member.

Theme:   Home Sweet Home"

  Due to the School Holidays we met at the home of a member.  The meeting was opened by Brendan.    Unfortunately due to a number of different reasons there were four apologies for the evening.

Brendan was also the Chairman for the evening and Topics were given out to Roz, on taste in books,

Iris on homeless, Regina on Furniture and Liz on a Happy Childhood.

The Education session was also given by Brendan.   He passed out a number of prints of paintings  and all the members had fun trying to remember details of the paintings.   This was a most enjoyable session on observation.

Timings were given by Scilla which was followed by the Tea Interval.

First on the agenda for the second half was a speech by Regina.  This was a very entertaining and educational speech on dwellings through the ages including information about some radical new ideas.

Carole gave a very fulsome evaluation of Regina's Speech.

This was followed by a short business meeting.

Roz gave an excellent General Evaluation and Vote of Thanks.

Although we were small on numbers it was an excellent evening.

POWERtalk Pollokshields - Send in the Clowns

POWERtalk Pollokshields met on Wednesday 2nd October, 2019 in Hutchesons' Grammar School, room A21.

The theme for the evening was Send in the Clowns.

The President Brendan welcomed the members and one visitor and gave the apologies.

Roz was introduced as Chair for the evening.   Roz gave an Inspiration from Cole Porter's Be a Clown and then gave out topics which were given by Brendan, Carole, Liz, Ruth and Grace all connected to the Theme.

The Education Session was given by Regina in the form of a quiz about Glasgow.    This was full of very interesting facts and was very educational due to the fact that the scores were very low.   Everyone learnt quite a lot about Glasgow.

Following the tea interval speeches were given by Ruth and Liz - both keeping to the Theme, but with very different approaches to the subject.

The evaluations were given by Grace and Brendan.

Brendan conducted a short Business Meeting in which finances were discussed and Liz mentioned the forthcoming Council Meeting.

The timing was by Regina and the General Evaluation and Vote of Thanks was given by Carole.

A most enjoyable evening was had by all.

The next meeting will be held on 16th October in the home of a member due to the fact that ths School will be closed for the October holiday.
