Our club hosted the Evaluation Contest. Although a relatively new member, Leanne took on the role of Contest Toastmaster and gave a professional performance.

Thanks to our sponsors Brisbane Truck School,   PanicATAX and Luke Howarth MP  Fed Member for Petrie.

And of course, our brave test speaker, judges, and all who helped to make it a successful Conference.

(This is a rather biased report, focusing mainly on Sandgate Toastmasters, because I haven't got  permission from everyone in the other clubs to use their photos.)
