The Professional Toastmasters Club organised its weekly meeting at Beach Luxury hotel on 22nd September, 2011. The time to start the meeting was 6:30 p.m. Sergeant-at-Arms, Madam TM Neel, observed the oath and handed the lectern to the Presiding officer, Madam TM Dr. Avan. The Toastmaster of the day was TM Farid, the Table Topicsmaster was TM Nadym and the General Evaluator was Madam TM Neel. The theme of the meeting was "the office environment" and the colours were Purple and Lavender.

Role of the Timer was performed by TM Adnan. The Grammarian was TM Tahir. TM Fahim performed the duties of the Vote-Counter. TM Ibad was the Ah-Counter. And TM Nadym Chandna chose ‘Believe’ as the Word-Master.

There were three evaluators in our meeting. TM Fahim and Madam TM Dr. Avan were the speech evaluators. Table Topics were evaluated by Madam TM Dr. Avan.

Three guests honoured us with their presence. Bilquis Bano and her son Hammad, who is a young boy with hearing impairment but has an impressive speech, joined us for the evening. We are very hopeful that Hammad will join our club. Our favourite Toastmaster, TM Farid introduced us with his mother, Sarwat Siddiqui. She is an amazing person who is actively participating in all our activities outside the meeting room. We wish to see more of her in the future. TM Jaan Ali and TM Hera joined us little late.

The Table Topics session was very interesting as TM Nadym asked a question from every speaker. TM Maneck was asked what if he was a Manecka. TM Ibad was asked what if he was a waiter. Madam TM Dr. Avan was asked what if she was a nurse. TM Bakshi was asked what if he was Quaid-e-Azam. TM Taimur was asked what if he was not the son of TM Nadym and instead was a son of a driver.
