Moreton Division Conference - "Dreams & Ambitions"

Four Sandgate Toastmasters members gave up their Sunday (sleep in) to attend and help out at the Moreton Division Conference on 19 March.

After a succinct council meeting, we were able to move into the four contests with briefings preceding. Trish as Assistant Chief Judge kept everybody aware what was expected during the various briefings. 

It was also possible to watch the contests via Zoom which some members took the opportunity to follow along.

First, Di chaired the International Speech contest in which we heard from

• Steve - "My Suit of Armor"
• David - "Just do it"
• Kate - "Broken to Brilliant"
• Madonna - "Not So Normal"

Gail was one of the timers. 

The trophies went to:

1. Steve
2. Kate
3. Madonna

 

 

 

 

The Humorous Speech contest was next, chaired by Tony. He gave us some Dad jokes one-liners to loosen up our laugh muscles.

We then heard from:

• Joel - "Running on Empty"
• Kris - "Just Let it Go"
• Beck - "Three Little Words"
• David - "Kamikaze Wind"
  

Gail and Christiane were timers.

The placegetters were:

1. Beck
2. Kris
3. David

 

The third contest was the Table Topics Speech contest which was chaired by Lorraine. 

The topic "I saw it with my own eyes" was answered by Ray, Lucy, Bruce and Barbara.

The trophies went to: 

1. Barbara
2. Lucy
3. Bruce

 

 

 

 

 

 

For our last contest (Evaluation Speech), we first heard from Lisa with her speech titled "My Swamp Donkey".

It was evaluated by Toto, Heidi, Jason and Steve.

The judges voted for:

1. Steve
2. Jason
3. Heidi

 

 

 

 

 

 

Afterwards, the raffle draw was awarded.

Sandgate Toastmasters would like to thank the members for attending and helping in the various roles. 

They also would like to congratulate all winners and wish them all the best at the District 69 conference on 28-30 April.
