Celebrations at Capital Breakfast club

Christmas is a time for clubs to celebrate - and this Christmas, Capital Breakfast had more to celebrate than most. At the club's final meeting in December, long-time member Nicki Mann received her long service award in recognition of 25 years' continuous membership of Toastmasters in New Zealand.

Nicki first joined Toastmasters in June 1990, making her the 13th-longest serving member of Division E.

Club members went all-out for their Christmas meeting, dressing up for the occasion and bringing festive nibbles to share. The extended Table Topics session had everyone scratching their heads as the chair produced one image after another of countries' flags for people to identify. Many speakers took a creative approach to their answer, ensuring that nobody left without a good laugh!
