What's an "Ugli orange"? ๐ŸŠ

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

Our last meeting had the theme "Interpersonal Communication". We learnt that this is connecting with people face to face expressing information, meaning and feelings. It was an engaging evening - members played games and activities including negotiating with each to bargain for possession of the rare Ugli oranges. It was followed up by a master class of artwork, drawing mystery pictures before wrapping up with a game of Spyfall where we had to figure out who the spy was in the group. ๐Ÿ˜‚ #ToastmastersNZ #NewtownTM
