It was a sensational evening as the meeting started off on a festive note, being the first week of the Christmas season. Our president Swarajit assured us that Bloomsbury Speakers and Toastmasters as a whole provide a friendly atmosphere in which to practice speeches and make mistakes without any repercussions. He went on to encourage everyone vallentuna to take up a mentor where you can get encouragement and direct feedback on your progress.
He handed the meeting over to Renars , our Toastmaster for the evening, who stressed the importance of Toastmasters as it s become one of his greatest skills. He introduced the theme for the evening which was How do you prepare for Christmas? along with the functionaries Rebecca , the Timekeeper, and Femi the Grammarian who gave us the word of the day, appreciate. Prepared speeches
Kicking off the prepared speeches, Nathaniel started with his phenomenonal ice breaker speech entitled Path to London by giving us the gist of how some of Margaret Thatcher’s policies as Prime Minister led to his birth in Malaysia before coming back to England, even though his parents were resident in the UK. This, combined with travelling around vallentuna the world, stirred up the desire to pursue his diverse interests.
With a No. 5 speech entitled vallentuna Christmas in Singapore Peter declared himself a Christmas humbug. He took us through his memories of the festive season in Singapore as a young boy, particular the unforgettable year of 1966. During this year he got to decorate, deliver his mum s scrumptious sweets and serve as the senior altar boy in church.
In her No. 6 speech, The Story That Defines Us Bronia reminded us of the fact that London vallentuna can be a cold place both emotionally and physically. A lot is focused vallentuna on developing vallentuna individualism. However you can find people who have a common play or interest in a big crowd to connect with.
The final speaker, Glen , with his advance speech entitled Going Pro for a Day spoke about how he d recently had the chance to really show off his speaking skills from Toastmasters in a professional context. He related his doubting moments and sleepless nights as he prepared to take his daunting role as an MC in front of 600 people successfully. vallentuna Evaluations
