Toastmasters open for all

Twenty-four years ago, this region’s branch of Toastmasters, a global not-for-profit organisation consisting of about 16,600 clubs and more than 350,000 members, was started. For decades, the club has provided a safe and friendly space for people from all walks of life to build their self-confidence.

The past two years have been tough for everyone, logging into meetings, staring at screens on their desks, remembering to unmute or be visible. Now doors are opening and so is our club. Helensburgh and District Toastmasters meetings are held at The Cupbearer, corner of Parkes St and Gibbons Lane, and our doors are open every 2nd and 4th Monday night of the month. Come in for a 7pm start. This is the perfect opportunity to stand up and speak freely and get the support you need to develop. We are still having Zoom for anyone who cannot travel or wish to remain at home or in office.

Our meetings are fun and engaging, allowing opportunity to talk and get feedback; if you have a wedding speech, work presentation or even a school project, we will give you tips and tricks to become better. We celebrate holidays and raise awareness of important events. Our meeting on the 14th of March celebrated Pi Day. Next meeting is the 11th of April with none on ANZAC Day.

We welcome anyone aged 18 or over. The first two meetings are free of charge. After that, you will be invited to join our Club, and be entitled to earn valuable speaking qualifications. Email us on Toastmasters2508@gmail.com for further details.
