Right at the beginning of the meeting, we were all given balloons by our Table Topic Master. We had no clue as to why, but we kept them with us. The meeting started off with a prank by our Toastmaster of the Day off the bat! This kept all the members engaged throughout the session. Then later we got to know that the members who got the balloons were the volunteers for the table topic speeches, cheeky but yet another creative way!

Overall it was a great meeting, where we learnt a lot on humorous speeches! Looking forward for many more such meetings!
