VQ Table Topics Club Final

Meeting 852 on Oct 10, 2012 was very special

We had two big occasions – the Table Topics Contest and two very special speeches.

Colin Hughes was Contest Chair and he wrote the story of the Contest.

The Table Topics Contest

Colin Hughes

It was contest time at Victoria Quay on Wednesday 3 Oct to see who would represent us at the S32 Area Contest.
The Table Topic contest was the first time for a very long time I have seen eight people in a club Table Topic Contest. As the Contest Chair I gave an easy and open topic ‘You have just got on a mystery flight’ and everybody did an excellent job, considering we had six first timers .

There are two great things about Table Topic Contests. You get the full stage to talk on and a full two mins to talk which is always good. It was a great contest. It was great for me to chair a contest for the first time. I would also like thank Neville for assistance to me on the night.
