Most importantly, she dealt with the problem when the flu caught some of our speakers, by finding replacements. \u00a0Bertalan, first-time guest last meeting, already gave his ice breaker this meeting. \u00a0Asli gave her fourth speech and Christian gave the business input with a talk from an advanced manual on management. \u00a0<strong>Evaluations<\/strong> were given by Claire, Jochen and Martin. \u00a0J\u00f6rg prepared the <strong>impromptu speaking &#8216;table topics&#8217;<\/strong> for the first time and surprised us all with questions with different difficulty scores. Many guests took the chance and conquered the stage. \u00a0Finally, Moritz gave a thorough <strong>general evaluation<\/strong> of the meeting. \u00a0Some after-work communication and networking kept going in the nearby Fox and Hound.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Organisation<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some points and observations to help us improve our next meetings:<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Venue<\/span><\/h5>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The great interest in our club made one thing clear: the current room is starting to become too small: extra chairs had to be borrowed from other rooms.
