Due to the huge gathering conducting the round robin session in the usual way was not possible. Therefore it was held as a game and all of us enjoyed every bit of it. Then began the grand show of the day: Table Topic Session. It was amazing to see how new comers grab each and every chance to raise their voices. The audience was enriched with different views and thoughts. Topics Master would have done a great job in selecting such an array of topics that everyone was encouraged to talk. Unfortunately this session had to be closed because we were running out of time. Then the prepared speech session was supposed to be held. New comers were really impressed by a fabulous speech done by Hasini Abeywickrama, 1^strunner up Speech Olympiad 2010. No doubts it would be a model speech and would let the new comers to realize which kind of speakers gavel is producing. After all a memorable meeting was adjourned by the president Niles Perera.
