The Toastmaster International District 60 Area 7 evaluation contest took place last night and I was competing against my wife Marion. In situations like this, one can only hope to place no higher than second.
Well good news! I placed third (a big achievement for me in the evaluation contest) while Marion placed first and now goes on to the division contest.
There were five contestants and one went over time (which may account for my third place win) but from what I heard from others (as contestants are held outside of the room until their time to speak arrives) Marion’s evaluation of our target speaker (who was terrific) was spot on.
I want to thank all the Area 7 toastmasters who came out so support the contestants and especially thank those from my home club First Oakville Toastmasters Club #2245.
