[ Toastmaster ]: Thank you Madam (Mister) President, fellow Toastmasters and honored
guests. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our specials guests who are here to join
us today. Thanks to any of our members or guests who can participate in the meeting
today.
Welcome and we hope you will enjoy our meeting and we also would like you to participate
in our meeting today. You will have a chance during our Table Topics.
There are two main parts of our Toastmasters Club meeting. Firstly, the Prepared Speech
session is where we have our members delivering speeches based on the 10 projects
from the basic Communication & Leadership Manual.
In part 2 of our meeting we will have members and guests practice their Thinking and
Speaking on their feet skills. This is also known as the impromptu Speech section of this
meeting.
As Toastmaster of the Day, it is my duty to introduce the appointment holders who will
assist in the running of todays meeting. I would like to introduce our General Evaluator
who will introduce the team who will describe their duties.
Please welcome to the podium our General Evaluator for today, Madam (Mister)
_____FFF
[applause, shake]

[General Evaluator]: Thank you very much Madam (Mister) Toastmaster, fellow
Toastmasters and honored guests. As General Evaluator for this meeting, I will be
observing the meeting, making notes, and offering reports and general comments at the
end of the meeting. In addition, I have a team who will be assisting me in these duties.
I would like to introduce my team now and ask each of them to stand and briefly describe
the role they will be performing today.
Madam (Mister) Timekeeper, would you please stand and describe the timing sequences
for the prepared speeches today.

[Timekeeper]: Thank you Madam (Mister) General Evaluator.

One of the skills of a Toastmaster is to deliver a speech within a strict time limit. In order to
accomplish this task we will be using a timer and three cards, green, yellow and red to
signal the speaker.
Anyone who will present their Icebreaker speech today will be given four to six minutes to
complete the speech. This means you must pass the four minute mark but not exceed six
minutes by more than 30 seconds for your speech to qualify. If you exceed the 4 and a half
seconds you will need to repeat the speech at a later date and you will not be in the
running for the best speech competition held at the end of this meeting.
For all other speeches presented today from the Toastmasters Competent Communication
manual, you will be given 5 to 7 minutes. Your speech must last longer than 5 minutes
which will be signaled by me holding up a green card. At 6 minutes, I will hold up a yellow
card. When you see me hold up a red card, you will have 30 seconds to complete your
speech or it will not qualify.
The green card will be raised once you qualify, a yellow card will be raised during the
midway point. Once you see the red card raised, you will have 30 seconds to complete
your speech to qualify.
Speech Duration:
4 6 minutes for Ice Breaker speeches:
Green card at 4min,
Yellow card at 5min,
Red card at 6min
5 - 7 minutes for manual speeches:
Green card at 5min,
Yellow card at 6min,
Red card at 7min
1 - 2 minutes for table topics:
Green card at 1min,
Yellow card at 1.5min,
Red card at 2min

[General Evaluator]: Thank you Madam (Mister) Timekeeper.

I would now like to introduce our Grammarian and AH-counter____CCC.
Please stand and describe your role.

[Grammarian and AH-counter]: Thank you Madam (Mister) General Evaluator. The
Grammarian role points out any obvious or not-so-obvious mistakes in word usage,
grammar, and pronunciation. As AH-counter, I help cure the speaker of the annoying habit
of vocalized pauses, like Ahhh, errr, and uhhhs. By counting all of the filler words the
speaker uses, I hope the speaker will realize and correct their bad habits.
I will also record anyone who successfully uses the word of the day. Todays word is
_____HHH. To qualify your speech, you will need to use the word of the day into your
speech. Thank you.

[General Evaluator]: Thank you Madam (Mister) Grammarian.

Now is the time for the prepared speeches. And to introduce the Speakers will be the
Toastmaster. Please welcome back our Toastmaster.
[Toastmaster]: Thank you Madam (Mister) General Evaluator]: Today we have ______III.
After each speech we will all take a minute to write down some notes for the speaker to
use as an evaluation of their speech. This will let the speaker know what they did well and
what they need to improve on.

[Toastmaster]: Its now time for the impromptu portion of our meeting. The Table Topics
should challenge us and help us think on our feet without any preparation.
Please help me welcome our Table Topics Master to the podium today.
[applause, shake]

[Table Topics Master]: Thank you Madam (Mister) Toastmaster, Fellow Toastmasters and
guests.
The purpose of the Table Topics portion of our meeting is to provide an opportunity for
members of the audience to practice impromptu speaking.
Each Table Topics speaker is encouraged to remember and use the word of the day in
their response to the question posed. Again, todays Word is _____HHH. A speaker is
required to use the Word of the Day in order to qualify for the vote for Best Table Topics
Speaker.
Madam (Mister) Timekeeper can you please stand and explain your role during the table
topic speeches?

[Timekeeper]: Madam (Mister) Table Topics Master, fellow Toastmasters, and guests, I will
be timing our Table Topics responses and the prepared speech evaluations. Our goal is to
complete each speech after the green card is shown and before the red card appears.
I will show the green card starting at 1 minute into the speech. I will continue holding up
the green card until a minute and a half when I will raise the yellow card. At 2 minutes into
the speech I will hold up a red card. You will have 30 seconds after I raise the red card to
finish your Table Topics speech. If you continue past 2 minutes and 30 seconds your
speech will not qualify for the voting.
1 - 2 minutes for table topics:
Green card at 1min,
Yellow card at 1.5min,
Red card at 2min

[Table Topics Master]: Thank you Madam (Mister) Time Keeper for that explanation.
