Here comes the Tournament!

Join us for an evening of laughter, creativity, and impromptu speaking as Toastmasters compete in two of our most entertaining contests!  We will be holding a tall tales and table topics tournament. What are these?




Tall Tales Contest Could you survive a crocodile attack... while carrying someone across a river... after discovering a hidden treasure?

The Tall Tales Contest celebrates original, humorous, and wildly exaggerated storytelling. Speeches begin with an everyday situation and grow into outrageous adventures with unforgettable twists and impossible outcomes.

Expect creative storytelling, outrageous exaggeration, big laughs, epic imagination in 3 to 5 minutes!

Table Topics Contest No notes. No preparation. No warning.

Contestants receive the same unseen question and must deliver a compelling response on the spot.

Expect quick thinking, confidence under pressure, surprising answers, inspiring speakers in 1 to 2 minutes! Every speaker gets the same questions but their responses vary greatly.

When? Tuesday November 16, 6:30- 8:30pm

Where?  Parkdale Nifty Fifties 3512 5 Ave NW

We would love to have you attend. Club members are already signing up for both of these contests so it is bound to be a fun evening. There will also be snacks.

Come enjoy good times with Igniters at our Nov 17 Tournament!
