In the round robin session

was in the strip of paper given to each of them. No further expiations are
needed, it was really fantastic! Then the Toastmaster invited the other
co-chair of the event Hasara Samadhi as the Table Topic Master. A nice set of
topics had been given so most of the members in the gathering raised their
voices. The next item in the agenda was the Prepared Speech session. Imesh
LihiniKanduarchchi broke his ice on the Valentine Day Meeting. Imesh described
how he had won his life so far and emphasized that difficulties couldn’t stop
one’s journey. After a fabulous prepared speech a special item had been
organized. Members were grouped into pairs. Each pair was given a funny topic
to act on. It showed that Gavelliars are not only talkative about also very

brought the Valentine Day Meeting of Gavel Club to the end. The meeting was
adjourned by the President.
