Hallowe'en. Mac Parliament was awarded the coveted Table Topics Trophy for his characterization characterization of a "puffed up" Brian Mulroney seeking the post of United Nations Secretary Secretary General. This part of the meeting forces toastmasters to think on their feet, and to use their imaginations to provide an opening, body, and conclusion conclusion to a mini-speech on a virtually virtually limitless array of topics. Prior to the break, a tie was declared in the awarding of the Spark Plug Trophy. This trophy trophy is a difficult one to win, requiring requiring intelligent and productive productive participation in the business session, perhaps through the introduction of motions motions or amendments to motions, motions, perhaps through, points of order when there has been a breach of the rules of parliamentary parliamentary procedure. Toastmasters Toastmasters Connie Nelson and Frank Lawson were jointly recognized recognized for their efforts.
