First congratulations on Bev for winning the International, as soon as I'd heard her wonderful speech I knew she was the winner. TimR was second, Ellie and I also ran - in my case walked as quickly as possible.
Secondly or really first equal hearty congrats to the Youngs in being first and second in the Evaluation Comp this time Dave first and Ellie second - you've taught him well Ellie. AND TimH did a great job coming third, well done Tim praps you no longer need a mentor!.
To me one of the challenges of Toastmasters is forcing myself to enter competitions, it is noticeable that attendance is always down on comp nights which is a pity, because comps are really know different from any other night, so all you absentees make an effort next time round.
Comp night got off to a hearty breakfast type of start, or at least Ray did, what a choice to make between sausage and bacon - maybe from the same pig!
The Int Comp had four competitors, Tim gave a stinker of a speech including septic tanks mouldy household rubbish, and finding that where there was muck there was money [sorry Tim I should have suggested substituting "brass" for money to be really authentic - but you came second anyway].
Yours truly was better late than never. Whilst Ellie was quite passionate and told how a tough [k]night turned a boy into a squire. Bev looked at the dash in your life - the dash being the gap between birth and the present, a great concept.
The evaluation comp had six competitors, and it was interesting to hear everyone's opinions confirming that it is a subjective art - based on personal opinions and viewpoints.
So ended another comp night. Next week I'm Toastmaster so I expect a full attendance, or else. Regards to all, Gerry
