The wonderful thing about being toastmasters and event
coordinators is that you meet so many lovely people and get involved in
organising occasions that are so enjoyable and worthwhile – let us explain how
our last 2 weeks have panned out.
Here in Margate, in East Kent, the Turner Contemporary is
already becoming as iconic art gallery and cultural centre but it is also a
great wedding venue.
Jonathan & Nikki from Your Toastmasters Kent have the
honour of officiating the first wedding at the Turner Contemporary on behalf of
a lovely couple from London.
It is going to be very special and both the bride and groom
and all their guests will have a memorable day on the coast in wonderful
surroundings.
Talking of London, Your Toastmasters, who are more than wedding
toastmasters, went to Catford to teach sabrage to a couple getting married in
August. Nikki a Maitre Sabreur for the
Confrerie du Sabre d’Or used her skills to ensure the groom can open the
champagne with panache on the day!
Sabrage is becoming extremely popular and Nikki is one of
the few qualified Maitre Sabreurs in Kent and the South East of England who
belongs to the Confrerie du Sabre d’Or and proudly upholds all the traditions
that the Confrerie encourages. Many
clients are seeking her services for weddings, corporate events and private
parties.
Closer to home, T.G. Aviation Manston and Thanet Flying Club
hosted a Fun Fly and BBQ night and Your Toastmasters used their event
coordinator skills to cater, run the bar and dress the venue. Photographer David Court attended the event
with his green screen technology – this is where photographs are taken in front
of a green screen and a chosen backdrop can be added. Images were sold on the night and raised
money for the John Egging Trust. We are
sure you will agree the photographs are very different! The event was a great success despite the
inclement weather and wild wind grounding the planes for the duration. However, one plane did get airborne and put
on an amazing practice display of aerobatics.
The clubhouse at T.G. Aviation at Manston in East Kent is a wonderful
venue and Your Toastmasters really enjoy working there. Nikki & Jonathan will be celebrating the
opening of the Olympics with Mark, Sue and their guests at their next event.
