This past weekend, Venus Toastmasters Club traded our screens and virtual backgrounds for the scenic warmth of Ipoh for our Annual Getaway! As a club that primarily connects online, breaking the digital barrier to meet, collaborate, and connect in person was a true breath of fresh air. ⛰️
On Day 1, members gathered at a homestay for the 122nd Club Meeting, enjoying live speeches and a creative Table Topics session led by Mei Hong, turning a simple prompt into a chain story. The meeting was led by Toastmaster of the evening Xiao Zhen, with Retno Cheah as the General Evaluator. Our meeting ended with the 2026–2027 Club Officer Installation, with Michele Lum leading the ceremony and members being acknowledged for their contributions, celebrating the achievement of early Smedley Awards. 🎉
Day 2 commenced with a Gyrokinesis session led by Michele Lum to centre ourselves for the day ahead, followed by Eva's Talk Show helping us reframe our mindsets and cultivate resilience.
Special thanks to the organising chair of the getaway, Xiao Zhen, for offering such a splendid time!
❤️ Venus Toastmasters Club isn't just a public speaking platform dedicated to empowering women. The true highlight of the trip was the sense of community and mutual uplifting that defines our all-ladies club. To everyone who couldn't make it this time around, you were truly missed! The energy was unmatched, the food was spectacular, and the memories will last us the whole term. Don't let FOMO hit you twice; make sure you're on the guest list for the next one!
