Minutes of Marathon 4

There was an excellent fellowship which in fact spilled over to the time we were supposed to start. The meeting began 15 minutes late at 1815hrs and went in order. Few changes were made due to some role players not available. Out of the 8 speakers only 7 had turned up. TM Alex did not make it for the session.

We had one new guest and a total attendance of 19 members with no feminine gender at all.
Every speech had shown an increase in quality.

Ivan was welcomed after his recovery and it was also informed that Douglas Hewage had also undergone a slight heart attack and needs 3 months rest.

The meeting proceeded well and with no table topics ws adjourned at 2015 hrs, 18 minutes later than planned.

Minutes of Meeting 18 year 02

Dear Toastmasters,

Please find enclosed the minutes of the meeting referred above:

Meeting was called to order late by 6:15 pm due to the heavy rain.
The president lead the National Anthem with Gusto and introduced the Timer TM Anton Kevitiyagala. He further introduced the Round Robin master TM Ivan Kevitiyagala who lead the session on the topic of controlling our temper. Most of the members picked the last word and Ivan ended the session with an example of how he controls his temper at his residence by just lying low - A take home for us..!

The president then introduced the Toastmaster of the day TM Royston Joseph who duly introduced the Ah counter TM Rouf Hakeem and called on to the first speaker TM Sanjeewa Wimalasiri on successfully reading the objectives of his speech by CC Premelal Brahammanage.
Sanjeewa spoke on Photography.
Next the Toastmaster requested CC Karthik Ramachandran to read out the objectives of TM Ruwan Senanayake's level 4 speech on Reasoning.

The ah counter and Timer were requested to give their evaluations and the evaluators requested to evaluate the respective speakers. Apparently, Sanjeewa Wimalasiri was requested to give another try on his speech as the evaluator felt the objectives could have been met better. His being a higher level, was evaluated in a very critical manner. On the other hand, TM Ruwan's Speech was commended and evaluated with minor improvements.

The toastmaster subsequently handed the controls to the topic master TM Sanjeewa Wimalasiri who immediately jotted down seven topics on the board which was responded well by speakers TM Wijetillake, TM Royston, TM Ivan and TM Nirmal Nanayakkara. Due to constraint in time, topics were restricted to 4 and the evaluations of the same performed by CC Premelal Brahammanage.

The topic master handed over control to the Toastmaster on thanking his role players. The toastmaster in his turn thanked the role players again and handed control back to the president.

The president called the Grammarian for his report where CC Karthik Ramachandran stressed on grammar with tenses, plurality, pronounciation of certain words beginning with 'S' (Style , Smile); 'V' (Love, Vehicle) and 'W' (Wet, World). It was stressed that for 'V' one has to bite the lower lip with the upper teeth and for 'W' the lips should be curled around in an 'O' shape. This was practised and taken up. Finally, it was stressed to avoid using the word 'thing' whenever a specific matter or event could replace the same.

The president thank the Grammarian and made a few suggestions, namely; Paying the club dues on time; attending the full day training programme on 29th March 2008 and the Conference for TM Sri Lanka. He stressed that we should have a mass on the conference day.

The president called upon the general evaluator TM Lalin who was very critically constructive with respect to the time we started, the National flag being placed in a place which should be changed and other improvements with respect to the meeting.

Finally the president called for the role players for the meeting on 19th March 2008. Once done the meeting was adjourned on time at 7:35 pm.

Next meeting was requested to start at 6pm on the 19th March 2008 at the OPA.
