North Delta Power Talkers Toastmasters Club

In keeping with long-standing tradition, members of the North Delta Power Talkers comported themselves extremely well at the area contest Humorous Speech and Table Topic Contests.

Akshat Nagpal drew the most laughs with a polished, well-paced speech pointing out the oddities in the Imperial System and American "football". This earned him second place and a trip to next week's Division Contest. Both 1st and 2nd place winners proceed to the next level.

Our own Bob Rorison, who was bulking up the representation from The Word, a club that he is assisting, finished second in the Table Topics contest by giving a touching, heart-felt answer to the question, "How do you define success?'

Finally, the diminuitive but scrappy Val Adolph ultimately emerged from the raucous scrum that was the Table Topics competition clutching the 1st Place Certificate by answering the same question with her own inimitable definition of success.

Well done, our champions! Proud of you all

Now on to the Division Contests!

We have an area contest coming up !.Don't forgot to cheer on our club champs at the upcoming Area Table Topic and Humorous Speech Contests next Tuesday. The contests will take place at Royal Heights Baptist Church, 11706 96th Avenue, North Delta, hosted by The River Toastmasters.

Registration begins at 6:30 pm, with the contests starting at 7:00. Contest officials and contestants are asked to arrive no later than 6:45 pm for their briefings.

Admission is $5 but will be waived for the contestants.

Wednesdays !!!!! Its always an exciting and interesting evening that we all look forward to.Two new members joined our club and were immediately given roles - one as Timer and the other as Grammarian/Ah Counter. Both did admirable jobs. The agenda was full with three prepared speeches on such wide-ranging topics as Making the Case for Critical Illness Insurance, Surviving Camping, and believe-it-or-not, What Really Happens in Your Sock Drawer When You're Not Looking. Clearly we operate under a Big Tent at North Delta Power Talkers. No doubt you'd fit in too.

Life would be so boring if there was no Humor. we are conducting our annual Humorous and Table Topics Contests, which has always been a high point of our Fall Program. come join us North Delta power talkers on Wednesday - 6:45 p.m at North Delta Rec Centre - Main Floor Multi-Purpose Room

Last Wednesday,we had a "Bery"good meeting .We had very interesting dialogues from our members and guests on our topic. Teady bear. Multiple roles were taken up by many members to provide a great experience for our Guests. I would like to extend my appreciation that did double duties.Join me in welcoming our new member Mr Baljit Grewal.Few awards to be announced.
Gary received the best table topic ribbon and Tinku Parmar received the best evaluator award.

Construction at the Rec Center had us camping out at Sun-bury Hall all summer but now we're meeting at North Delta Rec Center in the Main Floor Multi-Purpose Room (aka "The Pre-School Room", on the left side of the hallway, just inside the entrance). It's a bright and spacious room and has all the amenities we need to conduct great meetings

Wednesday - 6:45 North Delta Rec Centre - Main Floor Multi-Purpose Room

Last Wednesday August 26 marked our last night at our summer location, Sun-bury Hall. Next week, September 2 we are back in the building we call home, the North Delta Rec Center.
Construction at the Rec Centre is not fully complete so for the time being we are going to meet in a different room than the one on the second floor. Our new room is easy to find and as a bonus is in a very traffic location, just inside the main entrance, the first door on your left, in what’s called the Pre-School Room. But there will be nothing “pre-school” about our meetings.Come join us At North Delta Rec center On Wednesday.

All members had a great time and welcomed some new guests while enjoying a meal and social networking amongst each other. As we work on encouraging social speaking skills it is also important to work on social networking skills while having a good time!
