Apologies

When you are in the Hot Seat:

From time to time, someone will not be able to attend meetings. Often, this won’t be known until it is too late to inform the Chairman, so that a replacement can be found to fill that role. There have even been instances when people rostered for roles simply didn’t turn up at all, without telling anybody.

Because of this – and in order to keep our meetings flowing – we need members to fill in for others that don't show. For whatever reason. The Hot Seat occupant is responsible to fill any role in the meeting INCLUDING a Speaker.

When you are in the Hot Seat

• Come with a prepared Speech;
• Have a few Table Topics;
• Be prepared to do an Evaluation;
• Bring a General Evaluation Sheet;
• Prepare a ‘Word of the Night’ and your role as Grammarian.

This could be one of the most exciting roles of the meeting! You never know what you are in for until you get there!
