a) To allow individual members to have adequate time to mull through the points that their evaluators have raised, and to adequately prepare for the subsequent speech.b) To allow adequate opportunities for other toastmasters to present their speeches.
2) Increase of speaking slots – As a pilot test, Toastmasters Club of Singapore will be increasing the number of speaking slots from 6 to 7, and see if it affects time management for the meetings. If we do not run overtime, then 7 speaking slots will be the norm from now on. This is to help alleviate some of the problems members have faced with regards to speaking slots. The exco of Toastmasters Club of Singapore seeks everyone’s kind understanding and cooperation to ensure that the meeting runs on time, and be in the function room when meeting commences.
