I am delighted to have won the Toatmaster International Area Evaluation contest on Saturday 8th April.
There were 5 competitiors and we all listened to the same speech. We were then removed to a separate room where we wrote up our thoughts for 5 minutes - handed in our notes to the watchful eyes of the adjudicators and then took it in turns to go back to the main room where the audience waited for us to present our thoughts in 3 minutes on how the speech could be improved and what we thought went particularly well.
There's one more round to go before the UK finals. So watch this space.
