HOD Jun 2018 - Five Speeches

Problem
How do you fit five speeches into the two-hour Toastmasters Club meeting? Especially when you also want five minutes to congratulate the outgoing President Martin Doe?

Answer
You cut out what you can do without:
You limit table topics to five.
Evaluations of topics is eliminated.
The break can be cut from fifteen minutes to ten.
No language evaluator - except later as part of the newsletter. Let Evaluators comment on the language used by speakers.
The General Evaluator is kept short and concentrates on the evaluators.

If necessary, go five minutes over time at the end.
