When TM F Syed, theyoung VP-PR of BahrainAdvanced Toastmasters Club(BAT) requested me to send amessage for the second issueof this newsletter, I could notresist waiting. The reason was
quite simple: the request hascome from a youngToastmaster who has takenthe massive responsibility ofVP PR of the harbinger ofthe advanced Toastmastersclubs in the islandthat toowhen she is exceeding theexpectations of allsurpassing what other so
called veteran Toastmasterseven dare to do!
Recently I was summoned asthe Chief Judge for theHumorous Speech contest ofBahrain Toastmasters Club,another fabled Toastmastersclub in the island. I was quite
surprised with the superiorquality of the speeches andthe freshness of their speechthemes. You may think whatis so peculiar in that. Yes; allthe speakers were young newfaces brimming with fresh
natural ideas to expressthemselves in an innovativestyle! And mind youtheyoung contest chairpersonherself was doing her job forthe first timeso fabulously!
Fellow Toastmasters, it is hightime to respect the potentialthe younger generation iswielding. We often dismisstheir potential by resorting tothe old adage of experiencethat counts or simplybecause we are not ready togive them chances to
experiment. By properlychannelizing their skills, timeand energy we can witnesswonders with their creativityand capability. Towardsaccomplishing this objective,as Toastmasters, we have toafford more learning andleadership opportunities tothe youth whether it is in our
home, workplace, club orsociety. When this happens,we can witness the realpotential of the youth.

Dear BATs
Year-end, the time manypeople revise their balancesheets. Of course we have to dothe same, not as a custom but
as a proactive step to look intothe past and plan the future.
We have few more monthsremaining in toastmasterscalendar to review anannual assessment though Itake this opportunity toappraise the half-year of ourterm.
I am proud to see thedevelopments of our clubduring this period. Proudbecause we had a vision focusedclearly on certain principles andactions.
As I emphasized several times,our theme "Advancement in
Excellence" was not a slogan todecorate during the meeting orto showcase a caricature displayon anywhere.
It was our spirit and soul and
the driving force towards thedestination. We put maximumeffort to reach this destination.
We set the first priority onquality issues.
1) Guaranteed all the advancedproject speakers getting thekind of facility that required tocomplete their related projects-both technical and physical.
2) Encouraged interpersonalcommunicationamong the club members,consequently the union of skills
and expertise gave birthto brilliant plans and projects.
3) Had many deliberations withcress-cross securitization, onhow to do things better.
4) Initiated new ideas and triedto convert those themes intoaction. (I admit that we could
not do many things because ofmany constraints)
5) Initiated website, groupemails, quarterly newsletter

6) Utilized the media to spreadthe activities of our club amongthe public.
The following are few of ouractions, we did to justify our
position and to embracethe theme of the year.
But I am sure our past 6 monthswill be marked in thetoastmasters activities becausethese different activities

I admire all the club members
and other leaders for theirrelentless effort

Warm greetings. Being advanced
Toastmasters, We all would have
come across many toastmaster
experiences, which are valuable
and are to be shared. Please
convert all your memories and
experiences into toastmasterspeeches and articles, which will
be a road of success to others.
Also the club can meet its DCP
goals.
Always have pocket note; anything
interesting in routine life or any
remembrance of any past incident,
just note it down and bring out your
special talents in presenting it
either in writing or in speaking. You
will be a real distinguished person
in this way.
Let me share my experience with
you. When I joined BAT last year,
some where around end of
March,2009, its just in April, Idecided to do my second CC and
within 70days I was able to
complete and dedicate a DCP point
to the club just due to the
willingness and help of other
likeminded senior toastmasters.
Just have a strong wish, work hard,
achievements will be yours! Never
feel tired!

Privileged Toastmasters, welcome to
another inspirational publication with the
triumph of BATEX-2010. It is exciting to
visualize the success of our BATEX- 2010,
which was our mega event in this province.
The exhibition created an ambience torealize the importance of communication
and effective presentation of ideas. We
must persist to be accountable for self-
development simultaneously helping others
in their development. Its pleasure and
opportunity to be with advanced
toastmasters.
The BATEX -2010 proved again that prime
skill in effective communication is
listening. Listen to what is being said and
the way the message is presented to
comprehend the entire meaning. Listening
allows us to understand, give appropriate
feedback and teaches us the skills to draft
the speech, delivery and presentation.
BATEX -2010 made clear that every one is
a good teacher; provided we read his or her
mind synchronize with words
The Winners do not do different things, but
they do things differently, a quote from
Mr.Kher comes to my mind, and I feel this is
an excellent stuff to link up to our BATEX -
2010. Our aim should be high, for low aim
has no thrill to raise the enthusiasm.
To aim high a challenge with utmost beliefin us, the vision does come in
reality. Expect a lot from yourself step up
and pay the fee that accomplishment
demands to move towards your goals. You
have to surrender what you are in
expectation of what you can become.
Everlastingly keep the sight on goal; for
sure, the path would emerge for you. Not
everybody can be lucky, but everybody can
be determined.
Obstacles are nothing except a state of
mind and belief. The key to
accomplishment resides within us; purely
we need to introspect.
Hope to take this journey further along with
us fellow Toastmasters towards victory

The first Gift of this Christmas seasonwas the successful completion ofBAHRAIN ADVANCEDTOASTMASTERS SPEECHCRAFT2010, an Advancement in Excellenceinitiative, for DELOITTE & TOUCHE,Bahrain. For me, it was a great sense
of personal achievement as Isuccessfully coordinated my very firstSpeech Craft program.
The icing on the cake for us BAT family,of course, is the prestigious completionof our fist speech craft initiative as wellas the financial benefit to our club.
This opportunity has made my belief inthe bounty of the Universe to provide,even stronger. I had a requirement formy DTM to obtain a point from either aYLP or a Speech Craft Program, and Iwas praying and hoping for one, whenout of the blue TM Jose Thomas callsme up and offers what I wished for on asilver platter; a speech craft program forDeloitte & Touche, Bahrain. Was Isurprised? No. I was astonished.
Eight sessions of hectic scheduling
covered in five weeks and it was doneand done with great appreciation andacknowledgement from Deloitte, themanagement as well as the participants.
It all started on the magical evening of
14th
. November 2010. Our club seniormentors were there at the inauguralsession in full strength to lend supportand guidance. I would like to place onrecord the valuable contribution madeby TM Jose Thomas, DTM Alex Ginete,TM Kamal Mohiyuddin, DTM AhmedRizvi, TM Clement Vinayak, TM N.T.
Arasan, TM Ashok Kumar to kick start
the first session.
14th. November 2010, was theculmination of the perseverance of TMJose Thomas, whose vision ofspreading the value and benefit ofToastmasters learning platform hadencouraged him to talk about andpromote the Speech Craft program toMr. Paul Warman of Deloitte & Touche,Bahrain. In fact all the offices of Deloitte& Touche across the region are utilizingthis opportunity and experiencing itsbenefit.

Leadership is about leading, motivating
and inspiring. This is the message I
received from TM Jose Thomas, who
trusted me with this prestigious program
and allowed me the freedom and space
to design and deliver the program, with
fair evaluation and encouragement. I
learnt a lot and I enjoyed every moment
of it.
Our President TM Kamal Mohiyuddinwas the silent strength behind me as I
ventured forth, with his appreciation and
acknowledgement, backing me up.
The others were always there for me on
call, whenever I needed their help or
advice and to have TM Arasan as the
co-coordinator, ready to jump in,contribute and help was for me a
powerful pillar of confidence.
Bahrain Advanced Toastmasters is truly
advanced when it comes to helping one
another, supporting one another and
coaching and mentoring one another togrow from strength to strength and to
collectively become the best
Toastmasters and the best club on the
Island.
There were fourteen participants of
Deloitte in the speech craft program;
each and every one of them excellent in
their chosen profession of Audit.
Yet they too were able to experience a
transformation within the eight sessions
over the five weeks, from being reluctant
public speakers to relaxed and confident
speakers, who were able to open up to
the enjoyment of learning to share their
personal stories, their innermostthoughts, their private feelings, right
there, in front of their colleagues and
thereby bonding more intimately, with
each other.
They collectively endorsed the view that
the speech craft sessions had brought
them closer together and now they feltlike family, even though they had been
working together for quite some time
and had always enjoyed a cordial
professional relationship.
I felt enriched by the whole experience,
which was something I could not haveguessed at as I stepped in and took
over the responsibility of coordinating
the Speech Craft Program for Deloitte.
Thank you BAT for this great gift of
learning.

doctors in District 79, butperhaps all over TMIs 14000clubs.

But Dr. Usha was too busyto notice him. Some howhe managed to talk to Usha.I am not consultingpatients at toastmastersmeeting. This was the firstresponse of the doctor. He
politely let her know that hewill wait till the end. But thedoctor insisted that he meether at her private clinic.
With the recommendationof Ashok the doctor agreedto spare some time afterthe meeting. Just after themeeting the patient rushedto the doctor and beggedfor help.He replied to all her queriesabout family members, love

Usha continued thequestioning he explodedwithout patience andobjected to her: what iswrong with you? Why do

Since the inception of Bahrain AdvancedToastmasters Club, the question
"Whether we need an Advanced
Toastmasters Club?" was there in my
mind. Although I am a founder member
of BAT, this question never faded away.
So many senior Toastmasters who rose
to the position of District Governor were
able to achieve their goals through this
Bahrain Advanced Toastmasters club;
however, there was a fear in everyone's
mind that BAT will not remain as a club
for long.
Seven years have passed and here weare, still sailing through having
experienced severe storms and down
falls. May be the strength of this
club lies in managing it with great
difficulty.
Enjoying our meetings in the luxury of
Elite Suites at the beginning, the clubhas established its reputation of an
Advanced Toastmasters Club, though
compelled to move out of the luxury
zone to a subtle BSTD hall with self
financed family breakfast atmosphere.
I am really proud to have been a
member of this club for the past seven
years.
As for now, with the creation of two
more Advanced Clubs namely VisionAdvanced Toastmasters (VAT) and
Krypton Advanced Toastmasters (KAT),
our club really faces the challenge to
prove that only "Quality" can sustain
longevity.
Recent BATEX was one of the best
attempts to redefine the quality of BATand many other projects like quality
Speech craft, YLP and advanced
educational programs could further
strengthen our clubs stability.
I take this opportunity to commend the
steps taken by the current Officers todiverse the experiences and talents of
BA Toastmasters in various outside the
club activities and would request all the
members of BAT to extend their fullest
support towards these programs.

Speaking and writing are both skills that require a lotof practice.One cannot be a perfect speaker without practice.Speaking cannot be learnt through on line or athome. It needs to be practiced at a platform likeToastmasters club.
There are 10 things to be remembered whiledelivering a speech:
1. The speaker should begin his speechenthusiastically
2. His speech should not be vary of essentials3. He should not elaborate on insignificant points
4. No repetition5. He should not assert one thing and also its
opposite6. Proper pronunciation must be there7. Speaker should not confuse the listeners8. Clarity of thought in his enunciation9. The speaker should not speak of gossips or
irrelevant details10. The last thing is the speech should be of some use
to the listeners
