Doncaster Speakers TM Club Meeting & GE Report: 13th Feb 2023 – The Power Of Love… By Liana Cairns

Another fantastic session on Monday 13th February with the appropriate theme for the day “The Power of Love”. Our Toastmaster for the evening Mr. Donald Sweeting was entertaining and confident hosting the meeting. The theme for the evening was woven throughout the meeting with fun facts and quotes.

We had 1 speaker, Elizabeth Mead, with 2 mini impromptu speeches that had to be selected on the night by her evaluator Bridget Pearson. The first speech was entitled Dotty the Dog and the second, My First Toastmasters Speech. Bridget Pearson evaluated both speeches with commendations and recommendations.  

Tabletopics was run by Thashini this evening, this was all about love. Thashini Thennakoon showed us how this role should be delivered and commented on everyone’s speech positively after, what great listening skills! We had a lot of fun in the session and Andy evaluated it making sure everyone got quality feedback for their speeches. 

The evening was rounded off by Elizabeth Mead giving out the awards and we had 4 worthy winners.

Best Speaker- Elizabeth Mead
