Lifeboat Meeting

On 29 November 2007 Rivonia Toastmasters held its second Lifeboat Meeting.

What a blast. I don't think that there was a dry eye in the house and a lot of belly laughs were heard.

The characters that made it to the final six (from left to right) Muhammed Ali, Master Wang (Kung Fu Master), Don Juan de Marco (I have loved a thousand women), Calamity Jane (brilliant horsewoman and shotist), The big G (master of miracles), Jimmy Hendrix (sober as a judge). Kathy Kay, Captain and Toastmaster for the event.

Three characters finally made it onto the boat: 1st Don Juan de Marco, 2nd Master Wang, 3rd Jimmy Hendriks.

We'll keep you in the loop for the next one. It was a blast.
