TIMER
The
timer is the member responsible for keeping track of time.
The timer lets the speakers and evaluators know when to begin closing
and when to end their talks. Prior
to the meeting
§
Write
out your explanation of the rules in the clearest possible language and
rehearse it. An example would be:
Thank you Mr./Madame Toastmaster.
Proper timing is one thing we practice in our speeches at Toastmasters.
During each Table Topics speech, I will turn the yellow light on after
30 seconds, the red after 60 seconds, and the white after 90 seconds.
When the white light is turned on the speaker immediately becomes
ineligible for awards. Everyone
who speaks between 30-90 seconds is eligible to receive votes for Best Table
Topics Speech today. Mr./Madame
Toastmaster. §
For
the benefit of the guests, be sure to emphasize timing rules and how timing
signals will be given. Upon
arrival at the meeting
§
The
electronic timer is located in the clubs storage box.
Clear the time by pressing left button. §
Site
where the electronic timer can easily be seen by all (back of room). During
the meeting
§
When
introduced, you may stay seated, explain the timing rules and demonstrate the
signal device. §
Throughout
the meeting, signal each program participant as indicated by the specific
timing rules. Record name and
time used. §
After
Table Topics, the Toastmaster will ask you which Table Topics speakers were
within time. There is no need to
say what the actual times were; the club just needs to know who can receive
votes. §
Keep
the exact time for each regular speaker.
After the last prepared speech, the Toastmaster will ask you to give
the speakers their exact speaking times, so they will know how they did
against the target theyve set in practice. §
After
Evaluations, the Toastmaster will ask you which evaluators were not within
time. After
the meeting
