First congregation of this year.

We had an exceptional meeting on 6th January, 2011. The venue for our meeting was Beach Luxury Hotel. This was our first meeting of this year. Professional Toastmasters will congratulate TM Maneck and TM Dr. Avan on their engagement. The club wishes them good luck and hope to see them progress in every field of life.


Our club discussed and voted against the new venue under our presiding officer TM Fahim. The reasons for the members to vote against were very simple. The room was too small for all our members to attend, the lectern was to small for the speaker to move while speaking and many members were not comfortable with the parking.

The person responsible to lead the show (Toastmaster of the Evening) was TM Maneck. Table Topic Master was TM Junaid who made us realised through his topics the importance and significance of mobile phones. General Evaluator of the meeting was Hanif Sattar.

The attendance was good as our first meeting of the year was attended by twelve members.
Prepared speeches were delivered by TM Shahrukh and TM Panjwani. Both speeches were organized, well prepared & delivered in fascinating way. They were evaluated by TM Farid and TM Fahim, respectively.

TM Farid has taken the responsibility of coaching the club and has outlined ten objects for our club to achieve. The beginning was from our prize ceremony which included more than just winners of the speeches (TM Panjwani) and table topics (TM Dr. Avan). This time, we had winners from the big three (TM Maneck), best evaluator (TM Farid) and the winner of the todays word (TM Sajjad).

The meeting was wonderful and we are schedule to meet on 11th January, 2011. the forst meeting of this year was insightful and we with a great start, we are hoping to have a wonderful year ahead.
