British Toastmasters Club Contest

On Feb 26, British Toastmasters Club just held a Club Speech Contest for International Speech Contest & Table Topics Speech Contest. The winners are :

For International Speech Contest

1st place : Lola Delfin, TM
2nd place : Muqlazh Yusufi, TM

For Table Topics Speech Contest

1st place : Cindy Resita, TM
2nd place : Alvin Anwari, TM

All of them will represent this club to the area contest (1-1) that will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2009.

Toastmasters speech contests have three main purposes:

1. to provide an opportunity for proficient speakers and those Toastmasters who are interested in competitive speaking to gain contest experience;

2. to provide an interesting educational program for Toastmasters and the general public (contests can create a community awareness of the opportunities in the Toastmasters program); and

3. to provide an opportunity to those Toastmasters who are not participating in the the contest to learn by observing proficient speakers. They are also a great way to meet other Toastmasters outside of your club, to see the "bigger" picture and scope of Toastmasters, and above all - have fun!
