9th Chapter meeting
Venue:  Grand paragon Hotel, Johor Bahru

It was a splendid 9th Chapter Meeting of Johor Bahru Toastmasters Club. Toastmaster Carmelita was the Sergeant at Arms and I had the honour of being the host of the evening.

The meeting kicked off with a very a inspiring speech delivered by our very own club president 2009/10, CC J. Kannan. This was followed by the award presentation of the Toastmaster of the year and President’s distinguish club by our division A governor Advanced Communicator, Silver Cindy Wong.

Competent Communicator Tan Eng Suan was selected as the Toastmaster of the year for division A.

There is only one Prepared Speech. It was delivered by our new member Toastmaster Wei Yin. TM Wei Yin was doing her Ice Breaker and after her speech we get to know about her better.

For the table topics session, Michael Chu.CC decided to do something different. The theme for the night was 'Inspiring & Motivating Life Experience'. The table topic questions for the entire evening were all related to this theme. Competent Communicator Shegar and Toastmaster Andrew Tan were voted for the best table topic speakers for the evening.

The meeting continued with the evaluation sessions. Competent Communicator Mark Antony evaluated Toastmaster Wei Yin. He commented on areas Wei Yin should work on to improve further and gave encouraging words to our speaker who was doing her first assignment speech “ the Ice Breaker”.

Language evaluator, Competent Communicator Tan Eng Suan gave his evaluation for the good and not so good usage of the English Language throughout the meeting. This was then followed by the report from the Ah Counter, Toastmaster Nadirah. General evaluator Toastmaster Andrew Tan then gave his evaluation for the day. The meeting continued with the awards presentation and closing speech by club president Competent Communicator Jay Kannan.

Overall, I really enjoyed our chapter meeting and am looking forward to the next session
