Sharing: Speech Contest Preparation Guides

Fellow Toastmasters,

Table Topics & International Speech Contest is round the corner. Many clubs have started their preparation. This is some useful guides and documents I compiled from various speech contest preparation for Club level/Area level/Division level contests. Feel free to download and use it for your organizing team.

Would like to express my sincere gratitude to senior toastmasters for providing me your guidance through out the event preparation.
