Tabletopics Master
1.  The Table Topic session is aimed at obtaining the best thinking, listening and speaking from the participants. The participants can be members or guests.  Table topics are valuable, enjoyable and interesting way to learn.  Members always anticipate a stimulating session.

2.  The session must be featured by enthusiasm, variety, interest and the presentation of an achievable challenge to each speaker - harder topics to the experienced, easier topics to new members.

3.  Selection and presentation of topics will be a rigorous test of your ingenuity and understanding of the principles governing the exercise.  Remember funny topics don't always get funny answers and above all, achieve variety and realism.  It is important to play down your own involvement and to make the members shine.  Finally check your topics by seeing if you could answer them well.

4.  Have your topics in triplicate, and give a copy to each evaluator before the session.  At the start name your evaluators and explain the timing (see Timer).

5.  Select topic speakers with care, attempting to match the subject and degree of difficulty with the background and speaking experience of the speaker.  Ensure that any member without programmed responsibility receives a topic, then those members with less demanding tasks.  Try to avoid giving a topic to the evaluators and timer.  Briefly explain the purpose of Table Topics and ask if any visitors present would like to participate before beginning.

6.  Give the topic and any specific attitude the speaker should adopt, then announce the speaker.

7.  Keep the session within the overall time limit and introduce the evaluators.
