There was no stopping it.

The club meeting of Professional Toastmasters was held on January 13, 2011 at Hotal Beach Luxury. The presiding officer of the meeting was TM Fahim (Club President). TM Izhar observed the Toastmasters Pledge as the acting ‘Sergeant at Arms’. We were also blessed by the presence of two guests and our potential future members. Once the meeting took off there was no stopping it.

Big-3 were responsible for running the show included TM Haris as the ‘Toastmaster of the Evening’, TM Farid as the ‘Table Topic Master’ and TM Sajjad was the ‘General Evaluator’.

Table Topics were really amazing and challenging. TM Sajjad was asked to express his thoughts on the issue of his son holding a birthday party at his house and TM Junaid shared with us the story of a practical joke he once did.

The roles of helpers were performed by TM Junaid as the timer and the vote counter, TM Fahim was the word master and the Ah-counter and TM Izhar was the grammarian. The word of the day was ‘Intimacy’.

Two prepared speeches were delivered. TM Shahrukh was evaluated by TM Farid and TM Panjwani was valuated by TM Izhar.

During the evaluation session, TM Sajjad (General Evaluator) explained and discouraged the members to speak upon controversial topics like religion, sex and politics.


The members of our club exercised their voting rights and declared winners were TM Fahim for the best Table Topic Speech, TM Pajwani for the best Prepared Speech, TM Farid for the best Evaluator, TM Haris for the Big-3 and TM Fahim for using the word of the day in his speech.
