BEING SERIOUS HAVING FUN
Region 12 Toastmasters covers Papua New Guinea · Fiji · Australia · Malaysia · Brunei · New Zealand · Indonesia. One of the many fun parts of this large Zoom Meeting was a Representative of each District was asked to participate in a series of 'Tall Tales' which everyone else had to vote on whether it was true or a Tall tale. District 70 was represented by Concord West Toastmaster and District PR Manager John Hughson who fooled over 75% of the audience with his true story of falling (outside) a helicopter.
