Meet and Greet/Call to Order was expertly handled by Brian (who was also Timekeeper), before he handed over to our club President, Monika, who in turn introduced our dynamic Toastmaster, Freddie.
We had eight guests this evening, who were introduced by Freddie. Each in turn told us a little about themselves...
Ben was Table Topics Master. The theme was storytelling and each participant was given the first sentence of a story, which they were invited to complete in 1-2 mins. Topics included something you forgot to take along on your dream date, the interviewer who asked the one question you prayed they wouldn't, you doctor laughing before s/he reads out your test results and your excuse when stopped for speeding.
Our first speaker was Ken, with "Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Mission" (Storytelling - 5 - Bringing History to Life).
Chinkata, then delivered, via two poems (one of which was an amusing take on the Cinderella story) "What is the Point of Poetry" (Interpretive Reading - 2 - Interpretive Poetry).
Our third speaker was David, with "Try, Try, Try Again" (Presentation Mastery - 3 - Evaluation and Feedback - 2).
Prakash ran the Open Feedback session - we are one of the very few clubs that offers members and guests the opportunity to add additional commends and recommends to the speakers. Our General Evaluator for the evening was the extremely experienced Aditya, who made a number of useful comments about our club.
