The meeting started at 3.40 p.m. which was 10 minutes behind the actual time. Due to the lack of Gaveliers in the meeting, our mentor, Dr. Asha decided to give us an educational session about communication. During this meeting, we welcomed 3 new guests : Emily, Sher-Lyn and William.
From this session, we know that the 3 main points of communication are: the Speaker, the Audience and Audio Visuals.
We also discussed about the factors we want in a speaker such as
interesting characters, confidence, knowledge and friendliness.
Some of the not-so-good factors would be:
not acknowledging audiences, impolite, bad body language, lack of loudness, no interaction and hypocrisy.
To cut the long story short, we had everyone including newcomers to prepare a speech and Dr. Asha evaluated us. Since there was no acting role-player present, Thevesh was the Grammarian, Amitaesh was the Timer and Jessie was the Ah-Counter. Every person in the room spoke well and the meeting ended on a high note despite not being a proper meeting.
To all Gaveliers who were not present, please take time to inform the Vice President Education whether you can make it to the meeting. Don't take things for granted, please.

Thanks jessie
Hi, I got to this link through a colleague of mine. Briefly went through what were written in your blog and they seem so interesting. I have a daughter who is 6+ years old (in Primary 1 this year). Am interested to let her join your group but not able to fit into your meeting time. I have 2 questions
1) Are there any other slots on Sunday ?
2) Do you know if the are similar kind of groups around Bayan Lepas area ?
Thank you sir/madam.
I am really pleased that you took the trouble to tell us so much and to look through our blog. However, we do not have another club in Penang. The other one is in Kulim but meetings are also held on Saturdays.
Also, we do not really encourage children of such a tender age to join the club as they are usually playful and not suited to the rather intelligent atmosphere at the club. However, you could always bring your daughter to sit in as a guest during one of the meetings. If she is genuinely interested and mature enough, then it won't be a problem letting her attend! Kudos!
THEVESH THEVA,
President
