2011年9月9日 9 Sep 2011
町田市中央公民館視聴覚室
当クラブ会員出席者：7人
見学：2名（大和BTMCと立川TMCより応援。有り難うございました。）
会場は飲食禁止の視聴覚室、時間帯的につまみ食いの衝動にかられますが我慢我慢。遅刻者対応の為定刻よりやや午後7時5分に会長TKさんが開会宣言をされました。冒頭ＴＫさんから二十四節句の白露（今年は9/8）について、季節感あふれる説明がありました。続いて見学者紹介と会員自己紹介があり、その後司会のYH（兼議事録担当）へ引き継がれました。
今日の言葉「しなやか」とえーとカウンターの説明がYIさんからあった後、文法係の説明がTKさんからありました。集計係と計時係については、説明のみTKさんにお願いしました。
1人目のスピーカはSSさんで、CCマニュアル課題①アイスブレーカに基づき、仕事で発表事があり、その準備中に読んだある本に発表事の練習にTMを勧める記述があり、これを読んで入会を決意したという内容でした。原稿を全く使用せず、本の紹介だけでなく身振り手振りを取り混ぜた、自信が感じられる話し方でした。（5分9秒、NYさんが計測）。
アジェンダ上はここで個人論評となっていましたが、総合論評候補者を増やしたい、その技術向上を図りたいとの理由から、会長TKさんから総合論評虎の巻について説明がありました。
虎の巻の後はTKさんのご紹介により、KImさんが初の個人論評に挑戦されました。こちらも初めてとは思えないくらい自信に満ちあふれた論評でした。良かったところと改善提案を話されました（3分13秒、NYさんが計測）。
続いて総合論評者TKさんの短い説明に続いて、文法係（TKさん兼任）、えーとカウンターと今日の言葉の説明がYIさんからあり休憩となりました。
We then had an English language session controlled by TM YH (Toastmaster of the Evening, TMOE). Helpers such as Word of the Evening: TM YI (WD: flexible, elegant, slender), Grammarian: TM TK, Timer / Vote Counter: TM NY were introduced. There was one speakers in the English session.
The TZ presented her speech on the project of Your Body Speaks revealing her secrets from school days, focusing how she use to hate physical education classes but now realized the importance of doing exercise, which she also recommended fellow members to do (6’5”).
The next was Tabletopics Session presented by TM Guest YK. He first introduced his personal experience of moving around in Japan and abroad during school days, 19 times in total, mostly near Odakyu Line and set up a them of TT calling it as “Odakyu 3”. The first question was if a TT speaker has any policy on manner of taking trains, which went to TM TK. Her answer was that he tries to switch off her cell phone and try not to stay near priority seating areas (1’47”). The second question was about TT speaker’s experience of moving, the place he/she liked and reason, which was given to TM YI. He told the audience that he moved 20 times so far, which was one time greater than that of the TTM. TM YI spoke on his moving experience (1’20”). The third question was on how the TT speaker spends his/her time on train. This question went to TM NY, who said he enjoys listening to lectures, not music. No wonder why he speaks fluent English (2’08”).
After the TT was speech evaluation by TM Guest TF. He will be participating an upcoming area evaluation contest and he handled this evaluation smoothly, focusing on how TM TZ’s speech was effective and how it could be improved (3’15”).
TM TK then presented her general evaluation, covering multiple elements of the meeting in both Japanese and English. She also wore multiple hats, GE, Gramarian and CL evaluator. Thank you TM TK.
After the general evaluations, Ah Counter, Grammarian, and Word of the Day, provided their reports followed by the General Evaluator’s overall remarks.

TM TK then took over the control of the podium, asked for guest comments and announcements (Most importantly, dues are due!!!). The meeting was adjourned at 20:35, which was earlier than scheduled and a positive thing in Toastmasters. We then went to Hiroshima Tecchan (Tel 042-721-8228) for mega-size Okonomiyaki and drinks!!!.
