What our candidate thought of RYLA
Ruby our 2021 RYLA candidate spoke to members before our Dinner Meeting on Monday 6th December 2021.
Ruby gave a splendidly confident, note free presentation.
She was the youngest at 14 of the 48 attendees who were evenly split between
the sexes. She emphasised: the way in which team building accomplished the
various tasks including raft building amongst the multiple activities; the
importance of presentational skills used in the feed-back at the end of each of
the 6 days; the experience of making errors – “we went up Box Hill, all the
other teams went down!” In a paean of
superlatives Ruby said, “Great week. Best-ever meet-ups. Super weather. Great
teams. Great rooms, and accommodation. In the final presentation at the end, I
sang with my friend Holly.”
During her talk members were so enthused that they called out question, after question - all of which were answered with aplomb by Ruby.
I am sure we all felt our investment in Ruby’s RYLA was repaid many times over.
