The Toastmasters Cricket Tournament 2012
42 Teams had taken part in this cricket tournament which had shown the growth of Toastmasters in Sri Lanka.
Ralph TM had put in one solid team lead by TM Chathura. Ralph won the first round against Millennium Toastmasters where Kapila and Kasun saw that the latter part of the overs were used to hammer in boundaries and sixers.
Later, Ralph as usual got into it's famed spirits enjoying the evening. Taking into consideration that the youngsters were being baked in the hot sun, Ralph had given into Suntel amidst a good fight to head back home early.
Pictures are attached of the Ralph members enjoying the event.

The Event finished with each person brimming in happiness and pride both from Toastmasters fraternity and Standerd Charterd bank Team where the earlier were jubilant in their successful training and the latter confident in the new gain in knowledge, leadership and communication.
The fellowship that followed made possible interaction with each and increased morale where certain members of the trainees who could not open in front of an audience where now unstoppable at the podium was seen in reality.
The fabulous Sri Lankan Dinner saw to it that not only the hearts were full; the tummies were as well.
We are proud of our achievement and further pleased to inform that this series of training has increased awareness within the SCB team. Such is the requirement that the HR of SCB is looking at once again calling for a batch D - the fourth in succession; thus continues the Ralph Toastmaster commitment towards building efficient communicators and leaders in Sri Lanka.
