Your duty as timer is to keep track of each member’s time in carrying out his or her role as speaker, evaluator, table topic participant, etc. This exercise is an excellent opportunity in practicing communicating instructions—something that we do every day.
* When introduced, explained the timing rules and demonstrate the signal device. Throughout the meeting, signal each program participant as indicated below.
* In addition, signal the chairman, Toastmaster, and Table Topicsmaster with red when they have reached their allotted or agreed upon time.
* Record each participant’s name and time used.
* When called to report by the topic master, Toastmaster, or general evaluator, stand by your chair, announced the speaker’s name and the time taken.
* State those eligible for an award, if your Club issues awards. Generally topic speakers should be +- 15 seconds of allowed time; prepared speakers must be +-30 seconds of alowed time; the ah counter and grammarian must be +-15 seconds of allowed time; all others +-30 seconds. However, these times made vary Club to Club.
