Neville asked, "What memories does the Brisbane Show or 'Exhibition' evoke?"
Some answers included - the smells of the animals and hot dogs etc, goldfish in a bag, riding the Zipper, the Chair-O-Plane, losing a wallet, sample bags,the ring events, the gadget man, the woodchop event, fireworks and the freezing cold at night.

Table Topics
Table Topics are getting more and more impossible lately! Joyce's topics were more like Trivia questions but her victims, Kellie, Liz, Narda and Neville coped surpisingly well. No one knew the answers, but spoke about what they did know.

1. "Describe the flag of Argentina." 

2. "Why did the cow  jump over the moon?" 
 
3. "How often are balls changed in a tournament?" 

4. "What are the Queen's racing colours?"

Speeches

1. "Exercise can be fun"  It was Del's 4th speech  from the Communication and Leadership Manual. She demonstrated  good use of  gestures in an amusing account of a paper chase.

2.. "Moonlight Sonata" Garth wove a fascinating story about Winston Churchill and the Enigma machine during the war against Germany. It was his 9th speech.

3. "The Last of the Snake Oil Salesmen" Narda tried to "sell" us a jar of  ointment that cures everything and has a multitude of uses. It was an animated amusing speech. Her 9th speech.

Hot Seat

Liz was programmed to fill in the segment if one of the speakers was unable to present their speech. She did this by presenting a book review on "The Poisonwood Bible" which was written by Barbara Kingsolver. It is the story of an American missionary Nathan Price and his family in Belgian Congo.
