Table Topics Contest participants: Ian Garvie, Julie Anne Cantwell, Daniel Black & Ursula Beatty
The Table topic question: "I was driving along the motorway, when suddenly..." had to be answered in a time of 1.5 to 2.5 mins. As the final participant, it was a weird feeling to come into the room, knowing that I was the only that did not know the question, until I was called up to the stage and given the question by Rod, the contest MC.
Table Topics contest winners: 2nd Place Julie Anne Cantwell; 1st Place - Ursula Beatty

Evaluation contest participants: Ursula Beatty, Ian Garvie and Hannah Castellijn.
Thanks to Colleen Carnes from Robina Sunrise TM club, who gave the 5 - 7 min test speech (for the evaluation contest). She wasn't fazed one bit by Pug and Emo (Christine's much-loved Pug and French bulldog) who were very keen to come into the room and observe her speech. They didn't seem interested in any of the other speeches!!
Evaluation contest winners: 1st place - Ursula Beatty; 2nd Place - Hannah Castellijn
