1st Malaysian Gavel Club’s 2nd Installation Night

It’s our time again!

Yeapz, our Installation Night.

  The night started as members arrived and awaited the arrival of parents and guests. After all were seated, everyone waited patiently for the arrival of our patron, Dato’ Lee Hwa Beng, the ADUN of Subang Jaya.

  Our entrance this year was different compared to last, as we used a sketch instead. It was a entertaining guys versus girls argument. Thankfully, our mentor, DTM Azmi and our club President, Yeoh Ee Ping ’saved’ the day.

  The emcees of the day, Yeh Vin and Swea Ching, took charge and invited the Organizing Chairperson, Chuan Ai Vee to give her speech. It was followed by an address by Dato’ Lee. The Night reached its climax when the time for the Installation Ceremony came.  Committee members stood on the stage and one by one took the oath. The Sergeant-At-Arms is Chuan Yeh Vin. The next to be installed was Tan Swea Phin as Treasurer. The job of Secretary was held by Tan Swea Ching. Yours truly, Lam Jer Renn was next to be installed as Vice President Public Relations. Low Yee Xin was installed as Vice President Membership. Chuan Ai Vee took the oath for Vice President Education. Finally, came the time. For the installation of the club President. Yeoh Ee Ping was installed as the President for the second year as charter presidents have that privilege.

  What would a ceremony be without a speech by the President? Ee Ping delivered her speech confidently and naturally.

  Then, there was also the Education Awards. We’re happy to announce that we have 3 Competent Gavelier Communicators, namely Swea Phin, Yeh Vin and Ai Vee.

   After dinner, a round of lucky draw was conducted, followed by a poetry recitation by the younger sibling of Yeh Vin and Ai Vee, Xin Vee.

   Another lucky draw was conducted and quickly followed by a performance by members. It was a sketch in a sketch, whereby 3 judges were interviewing people for roles for a upcoming movie. Different situations were given, for example, a wife angered by her husband in the kitchen, a guy giving a love letter and roses to a girl he likes, and so on.

   After that, audiences were entertained by a game by Toastmaster Francis Yeoh, the famous gamemaster.      

   A last round of lucky draw was conducted, followed by the closing address by the President before everyone headed home. What a night, eh?

  The 1st Malaysian Gavel Club would like to thank all people involved in making this dinner a success, without forgetting the sponsors for the prizes! So a big thank you once again to all of you, and we’ll hope to see you again next year!

    We were assigned jobs prior to the night, and also we discussed about our entrance, which I think should be kept secret till that day. We will also be doing a sketch, but you’ll have to attend the dinner to watch it!
