Review of Meeting (18 April 2006)

Attendees: Bavani, AC Fong, Lechumanan, Lucky, Lourdes, Dr. Marie, Muhendaran, Ranjit, Renuka, Shandini,

The meeting started at 7.35 pm.

The meeting was synchronized by our new member but an old timer to Toastmasters, ATMB Renuka as the TME. The word of the day was "synchronize" and the theme was "together we grow". Though we were small in numbers it turned out to be a good meeting that benefited the members.

The table topics master, TM Lechumanan came up with topics which were hilarious. His topics centered mostly on hotel experience. Following Toastmasters took part - Lourdes, Bavani, Shandini, Renuka and Ac Fong. The fierce competition was won by Renuka who related to us about her paranoid character with good command of the language.

Table topic evaluation was done by me for the first time ever. There seems to be so much for me to improve. I shall take note of it.

We had only two prepared speeches for the day and both were advanced speeches from Ranjit and AC Fong. Both speakers were outstanding with their command of the language and managed to deliver their speech with ease. Ranjit's speech title was "Can't Live With Her, Cant Live Without Her", while AC Fong's speech title was "What Drives You Nuts". Both speakers came up with very attractive speech titles I must say!

The speech evaluators were ATMB Lucky and ATMS Muhendaran for Ranjit and AC Fong respectively. Both evaluators gave their honest and constructive evaluations. I am sure the speakers have taken note of the comments given.
