Monday night and an absolutely full house at Trojans Speakers (Ealing Broadway) for the Toastmasters 2009 Area 29 International Speech and Evaluation Contests. We were treated to a speech contest with subjects ranging from holidays to preventing heroin abuse and much more...(won't spoil the surprise by telling you about the winning speech)! The Evaluation contest was an excellent standard so overall our judges had their work cut out.
