“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” \u00a0Albert Einstein.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Every spring and autumn, Toastmasters clubs hold competitions. \u00a0In spring, the International speech and evaluation contests. In autumn, the Humorous speech and Impromptu speech contests.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Competition is the fastest route to change, improvement and growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Business Club<\/strong><\/em> is serious and effective. \u00a0We provide our members this chance for growth, in a friendly and supportive environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a measure of our members’ engagement, 66%<\/strong><\/em> of our membership was present at this competition meeting; 20%<\/strong><\/em> of our members took part in one competition or both; and every member present<\/strong><\/em> but not competiting took on organisational rolls: timers Isabelle & Petros; counter Geoffrey, Isabelle, Petros; sergeant at arms Chu Ping; judges Ben, Barbara, Cezar, J\u00f6rg, Karla, Martin; contest chairs Ivan A. & Ben. \u00a0Evaluation contest target speech was given by Martin, titled “Adam’s Rib”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our biggest praise goes to the person who made the entire event happen<\/strong><\/em>, our Contest Organising Chair, Asli. \u00a0Well done Asli on giving us a top quality, furnace-hot competition event.<\/span><\/p>\n

While our praise and thanks go to those who made the event possible, the limelight is decidedly reserved for our winners. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
