Area Governor Club Visit Sharing #1

Fellow Toastmasters,

This is my club visit sharing.
Should you find the practices useful to your club, just implement it!

Club: Seberang Jaya Toastmasters Club
Venue: Safira Country Club, Seberang Jaya
Date: 16-Sep-2008 8PM

1) Meeting setup:

a) U-shape table/chair layout -> good layout, eveyone can see the stage clearly, table available for writing/taking notes while learning

b) Display Guests' name on whiteboard -> good approach, guests felt welcome in the new environment and other may not wrongly spell guests' name

c) Display club banner & toastmasters club mission on stage

2) Program agenda:

a) Roll call when meeting start -> good approach, it served as ice breaker to the meeting and everyone knows who-do-what

b) Table Topics Session with variety of topics -> good topics mixed, both easy and tough topics, to cater for guest and senior members

c) Prepared Speech receiving proper evaluation -> Speech Evaluator explain well on evaluation, which part is good, quote the speech part and explain why that part is important in speech delivery.


Average example: Excellent speech because speaker has good hand gestures, good vocal variety. Good title selected........

Excellent example: Excellent speech because speaker has good hand gestures (explain what is the strength)
He opened his hand while explaining the size of elephant (quote which part of the speech is good)
This help audience to visualise the message explain giant size of elephant (explain why the strength is important in the speech)

3) Other good practices:

a) Induct new member within first or second meeting as soon as application form submitted. Mentor also assigned immediately to provide personal guidance to new member.

b) "The Best Table Topics Award" voting by everyone, this encourage everyone to speak and practice in table topics session.


Overall rating by Area Governor: "Exceptional Meeting" rating.
