Nikita visited Croydon Communicators on 12 Nov 15 with Ascot Club Sponsor & VP Education, Paola. Paola had met Club President, Paul, at the D91 Toastmasters conference at the weekend. She had heard about different ways of running meetings and wanted to see it in action.

Paola was asked to step in as an evaluator for an advanced speech after an evaluator dropped out. Nikita and Paola both did Table Topics speeches.
Nikita’s topic was about a about a time she had been adventurous with food. She told us a time she was in the desert with an army escort. They showed her sources of sweet water and shards of salt, as well as fruits such as dates. She painted a vivid picture which she delivered in a confident way.
It was a very well-deserved award – well done Nikita!
