There were three participants for the speech contest, and five for the table topic contest.
It was vivid that the club members are improving; the three contestants for the speech contest all did so well that the audience plus judges were fascinated by their speeches.
As for the table topic contest, as I was the fourth contestant, I only managed to see Khew the club president delivering her impromptu speech. But for myself, as it was only my second time participating in the contest, I managed to start babbling away quite smoothly till I reached my dead spot -- the ending of the speech. Duh!
Anyhow, upon the result announcement, someone mockingly knocked on the table to create a tensed atmosphere.
And it was obvious that the judges had done a fair and square judging; Wong Chong Sen won the speech contest, and Khew won the table topic contest!
The champions, the first-runner-ups and the second-runner-up were awarded with trophies and certificate of participation, and they were cheered by the audience with thunderous clapping!
One of the trophies for the winners of the night: it's so grand-looking!
It showed that our club really recognises potential Toastmasters.
Even though the outcome of the Area Level Contests was not on our side -- both Wong and myself (Khew couldn't participate in the contest, so I as the second-runner-up went for it instead), it was indeed a good experience going to Area Level Contest!
Keep up the good work, Penang MCA Toastmasters!
