Notes of Lancaster Speakers Club March Meeting
Choose a word with four obscure meanings Eddy spoke on his take on NIRVANA and gave us several different meanings. This was evaluated by James James then spoke on the meaning of the word Retrogradation. Was it describing the orbit of the planets, the illusion of going up hill when actually going downhill or did it refer to the London sewers. The first meaning was the correct one. This speech was evaluated by Jane Jane spoke about the meaning of the word Bressener. Was it describing an early version of the Bra or was it a Timber Load bearing Beam or, was it the name of a Scottish Country Dance. After some discussion this word was identified correctly as a Load Bearing beam. Joyce evaluated Jane Joyce described the word Strobilus. The three meanings Joyces gave us was that a, it referred to Bellringing; b, a strong beam of light and c, a Fruit or vegetable with overlapping scales. It was, of course, the later description. Lara evaluated Joyce Lara described the word Limerence. Was it a state of Foolishness, a state of Narcissism or a state of Obsession. The last meaning was deemed correct. Albert evaluated Joyce Albert then gave four meanings of the word Tendentious. Firstly, was it a pain, an inflammation of tendons; was it the defence of Imperial measurements; was it an Amazonian Porcupine ; was it a bias in an argument. Clearly the last meaning was deemed correct. John evaluated this amusing presentation. John then described three meanings of the word Gift. Avoiding the obvious one, he asked whether it was a the German for Poisson, Serbo-Croat for a poisonous snake or was it Hebrew for Faith All chose the last description but the German meaning is correct. David evaluated John David introduced us to the word Fonticulus. After saying that meanings change over time, he put three meanings to us. Was it a Harry Potter spell, the study of typeface or the depression just below the breastbone. This last meaning is correct. Eddie evaluated David

ASC expert trainer delivers essential
Past National ASC President Dilwyn Scott zoomed in from Stourbridge to present an educational session on giving a Vote of Thanks. The PowerPoint lists of Do and Don’t were useful to note and enhanced his chat. An excellent session. During an 8-minute lull, everyone wrote their own version and then several members delivered their efforts; Dilwyn evaluated them.
