Our Toastmaster for the evening was new member Latifa, who delivered a faultless and entertaining performance - her fist time in this role for Excalibur.
Ben then invited our guests on stage to introduce themselves:
Freddie took the Table Topics session. The participants were instantly evaluated by other members of the audience.
We then had our three formal speeches: Deborah - "The Secret of Youth" Humorously Speaking # 3 "Make them Laugh". This excellent speech was followed by Robin's "Smart" - Speeches by Management #1 "The Briefing". Finally Prakesh delivered "Books we Read. People we Meet" - Visionary Communication #1-1 Icebreaker.
The speeches were evaluated by Monika, Ilaria and Carolina.
Then we had the Open Feedback session, in which the audience is invited to add three minutes per speech of extra commendations and suggestions. Congratulations to Robin (#2) who jumped in at short notice to perform this role!
Kat then delivered an insightful Open Feedback session - in which everyone who hadn't been previously evaluated on stage, received her thoughts and suggestions.
President Nick then awarded the prizes which were as follows: best table Topic: Deborah; best Evaluation: Monika; best Speech: Robin.
Our next meeting is at 19:00 on Wednesday 23th October, at The Fitzrovia Community Centre, 2 Foley Street, London W1W 6DN. Guests are very welcome!
