Why should you join us

​Toastmasters are warm, friendly people who get together on a regular basis to improve their communication skills and have a lots of FUN doing it.



Our members all have a variety of reasons for joining our club. One of the most common is to gain the self-confidence to speak in front of an audience without feeling petrified. We help our members achieve this by increasing their confidence and skills in a variety of ways.

​

Toastmasters builds confidence, it can also help develop leadership skills that can be put to good use at work or home.



Public speaking is not usually one of those things on everyone’s “to do” list. In fact, most people during their lifetime prefer not to speak to an audience, no matter how small. However, public speaking can be of benefit to anyone, no matter what they do in their lives. Without realising it everyone speaks publicly at some stage, be it, at a party, wedding or to a new neighbour. Like writing, speaking is a form of communication most people take for granted.



Like it or not, public speaking does have its advantages. These include confidence when speaking to others in public or one to one, leadership, time management, language and writing skills. Gaining confidence is sometimes one of the most important hurdles many people face and although public speaking may not be considered the ideal way to do it, it does work.

​

Getting over the fear of speaking publicly and being able to speak about anything gives confidence. This confidence comes through, not only in future speeches, but also when speaking with friends and family, at work speaking to the boss, a customer or business associate.
