Online meetings, challenges and statistics

Facebook produced this memory photo for me to share.

This picture shows me at Tampiens Changkat advanced toastmasters of which I am a member. In Singapore. I am being presented with a ribbon for best speaker by the President, Vincent.

I am not sure whether this was a ribbon for best speaker, or an award for best topics and the club had run out of best topics ribbons. According to the wall behind I spoke in table topics.

Statistics
It would be interesting to have had compelte statistics for each club and each member. I would love to be able to say how many ribbons I had won and how many speeches I had given.

The club's statistics would be interesting too. The club has been going so many years, held so many meetings, had so many people pass through its doors, kept so many members from the first meetings, had so many presidents, each member had given so many speeches, won so many ribbons, entered so many contests.

If the club appointed a statistician or gave the job of keeping statistics to the club's PR person, that would make a fascinating and impressive record.

ChallengesA record of challenges would be interesting, too. How many times did the President, VPE and TMD have to cope with missing speakers?

Did they ever get locked out of the venue? We did this year 2020, because of Covid19.
