We bowled it!!! What a splendid Bowling Bonanza held at
Orchid bowl, Safra Punggol!
It was the first time ever our Chapter meeting was held in a
bowling alley and we all geared up excitedly despite our seeming "lack of experience" in
bowling.
First up was the warm-up round, aka ‘Sizzling up the Alleys’. During this friendly match, some were bouncing the balls while others resorted to crawling and even rolling the ball to knock at least one pin. Bowling indeed, was not our strongest suite.
Shockingly, we discovered some members who had a
hidden talent for bowling and were striking multiple times. (Hint: Vi**y , He**nt, R***an)
After everyone was warmed up, we proceeded to the real challenge… BINGO Bowling aka the game with funny twists. Everyone was grouped into 4 teams and for every bowling score obtained, teams were allowed to strike off 1 number off their BINGO list.
Only at Anchorvale Toastmasters, are you able to play BINGO while bowling J After a long, hard fought battle, Team Vinay was to first to get BINGO!

Next up was Round II - ‘Frames vs Pins’ where teams had to
score above the frame number for their scores to be counted. Pulling back from
their initial defeat, Team Hemant climbed back to emerged victorious for this
second round.

Finally after the tiring bowling, the meeting adjourned to
Pizza Hut for lunch and to begin our chapter meeting proper. Rusman our TMD,
welcomed all Toastmasters and especially our two prepared speakers Vicky and
Benjamin.
Food glorious food !
Vicky on his P4- How To Say It, shared his terrible
experience about days of having blackouts while Benjamin (AP2 – Speaking in
Praise) spoke about his father’s advice on choosing the right things in Life.
Our Table Topics Master Sathiyamoorthi took to the stage next
and stunned us all with his unique twist of ‘Team Topics’, a combination of
table topics and trivia questions about members.
The questions were so tough that Salma was stumped
Everybody had a chance to
participate in the Table topics session and perhaps the funniest part was
Sathiya’s clues!
Nevertheless, at the end of the day everyone was a winner and was able to
walk home with prizes!
Team Valliappan! (who wasnt present as he left earlier :x)
