THANK YOU to everyone for the effort undertaken to man the Toastmaster site today at Sandgate for the Einbumpin Festival. Special mention to Rhys for the setting up and packing up and Nicole for supplying the cover, we would have been 'roasted' without it. Thanks again, I was very happy with the number of people that registered their interest. Sharyn

Meeting 860 TT & Int. Speech Contests

It was a special evening. We had a visit from our Area Governor, Jeff, as well as contest judges Terry and Mark from Pines Toastmasters Club.

 President Sharyn was kept busy. As well as performing her new role of president, she was tie breaker judge for the Table Topics Contest, and Contest Chairman for the International Speech Contest. She handled all three tasks with aplomb.

It was wonderful to see so many competing in the Table Topics contest. The topic was, "There is a way."
Trish, Annette, Raider, Rachael, Kylie, Jonathon, Nicole, Liz and Rhys took on the challenge.

There were two contestants in the International Speech Contest.

And the winner was.....

Trish won both the Table Topics and International Contests. Congratulations Trish!

Raider came second in the International Speech Contest. 

 Other place getters were Annette (second in Table Topics) and Rhys. (Third in Table Topics.)

Congratulations to all who took part.
