Immediate
Past President John (on behalf of Club
President Philip who is competing) called the meeting to order at 1:00pm and
handed over to Area Governor Brett for his Welcome.
Once the Judges, Time Keepers and Contestants had been
briefed the Speaking order was drawn and announced and the Contest began.
Kamal delivered a speech on Lying
Philip delivered his speech entitled; “A Ball of String”
And Ken delivered a anecdote on Cruise holidays.
S@A John and District Governor Alex and Counters Paul and
Glenn D left the room with Judges scores and Toastmaster Peter wrapped up the
session by presenting the Participation Certificates. As all 3 contestants are
represented in the Evaluation Contest no interviews were undertaken.
S@A John announced the Break and had to hastily arrange for
the food to be delivered earlier than planned.
Following a pleasant Break with refreshments, S@A John
reconvened the meeting and introduced Phil From Burwood Club to officiate as
Toastmaster for the Evaluation Contest.
Phil Lovell introduced the Target Speaker – Wendel Drego – with a
speech about Time, which ended on a very dramatic note as the audience was
showered in Minties.
Once Wendel had finished S@A John escorted the 4 contestants
to an upstairs Boardroom where they had 5 minutes to prepare their responses.
The Editor was S@A so not in a position to hear the
responses from Kamal, Philip, Kenneth and Andrew.
While the Chief Judge and Counters took leave tally the
results Toastmaster Phil conducted the Contestant Interviews.
Following some official announcements the Chief Judge and
Division Governor Alex Thomas and Area Governor Brett Sutcliffe announced the
Winners of both Contests and presented the Certificates and trophies.
