Spring is finally in the air and our next meeting will have a different format because it's our International Speech and Evaluation contest. Ingo will be our contest master and we'll kick off the evening with the speech section in which Christian and I present our speeches on the topics of our choice. It can be informative, entertaining, humourous or persuasive.
Some things never change though and there will be, as always, the cake of day to enjoy as the contestants from the first part take a well earned break and those for the second one prepare themselves for the challenge of the evaluation contest. Johanna has bravely volunteered to be our target speaker and will then have the privilege of getting four evaluations from Dorothée, Jan, Christian and myself. It's always fascinating to hear how different feedback on the same speech can be and for the contestants, it's the ultimate challenge in organisation and quick thinking.
Don't miss this great opportunity to be part of an exciting and rewarding evening. Our contests take place just twice a year and are always full of unexpected twists and drama. Guests are always welcome at our meetings but especially at contests to help provide a warm and supportive atmosphere to inspire and help the contestants. It'd be great to see you there.
