Toastmasters Distrcit 70 competition was quite interesting

Yesterday was at the Annual Toastmasters International Finals for District 70.
This is where the best speakers in NSW and ACT compete to go to America.

There were two educational's as well and they were great value.

Can't wait to use them when I do my next speech.

One was done by an actress and she spoke/presented about adding presence to your speech.
Couldn't get enough as she was so fluent and practical with her advice that the following presenter had a very hard act to follow.

The Dinner was quite a formal affair.

Nearly everything to do with competitions requires you to wear a suit or business attire and the Dinner was a Gala Dinner which translates not as a Festive Dinner (which is what Gala translates to) but as a Black Tie event in some circles.
So I wore my black tie with the little grey elephants!

The Winner had tried to perfect his speech for three years!

I'd better start making up my speech now...
