Our Club Speech Contest 2011
February 25, 2011 in Events by Helen Reumann
“It was a real competition this time!”, said Jerel, our former president and founding member of the club. We have never had so many contestants participating to our Club Speech Contest in the past. And this time, there is even such a well balanced mix of participants of different background and Toastmasters’ experience, reflecting the very healthy development of our club!
On February 22nd and 23rd, the International Speech as well as the Mandarin Speech and Table Topic Contest 2011 of our Nanjing No. 1 Toastmasters Club took place at our usual meeting venue. In total, 6 contestants were competing against each other for the International Speech Contest title, 4 contestants for the Mandarin Speech Contest title, and 5 contestants for the Table Topic Contest title. The 1st Prize winner of each of the contests will go to Wuxi on March 20th to represent our Nanjing No. 1 Toastmasters Club to fight for the area level award. While the Mandarin and Table Topic winners will not go further then to Xiamen, where the Greater China Contest will take place this May, the winner of the International Speech Contest will even have the chance to go to the United States for participating to the global Speech Contest! How exciting!
All in all, we had two wonderful nights full of joy, excitement, and surprises (see also Events/Gallery -> Club Speech Contest 2011). Please join us congratulating the winners of our Club Contest:
1) International Speech Contest: 1st Prize – Jerel Bonner, 2nd Prize – Katie Zhang, 3rd Prize – Tina Li
2) Mandarin Speech Contest: 1st Prize – Katie Zhang, 2nd Prize – Wenbin Liang (only two prizes for Mandarin Speech Contest)
3) Table Topic Contest: 1st Prize – Leinie Zhang, 2nd Prize – Tina Li, 3rd Prize – Wenbin Liang
And good luck to all the 1st Prize winners for the Area Speech Contest in Wuxi!
Thank you for your information.
I’d like to join your club and I am wondering if I have registerd. And it is really difficult to log in your website.
It is a great pity that the contest only takes place every Wednesday when I am away from Nanjing, Can you organize the activity on weekends? I bet there will be more participants , and Second toast master club will emerge soon!
Great!
I am glad to know so many toastmaster fans.
Actually, there is already a 2nd toastmasters club- Alcatel-Lucent Smart speakers Toastmasters club.
we are eager to see the 3rd toastmasters club soon!
Just to clarify, our meetings are every Tuesday. We hold speech contests twice a year, and they could be held on a weekend as a special events if the members ask for it.
Our meeting day was selected by the founding members when the club was formed. If more members agree to change the date and they help find a location to hold a meeting, then we will change. Our club serves our members and they get to vote on what they want.
