We are always looking for people interested in joining our organisation.
 

Why Should You Join?

The Toastmasters program offers many benefits that help people in all walks of life. As a result of participating in Toastmasters, you will:

  • Increase your self-confidence
  • Become a better speaker
  • Become a better leader
  • Communicate more effectively

Membership is affordable - a great value that can change your life.

How Can You Join?

You don't have to join straight away. Come to a couple of meetings first so you don't feel pressured to jump in blind! Believe me, you won't regret it. Then, when you're comfortable and feel you want to be a toastmaster, we'll get you to complete an application form. Joining fees are $50 (educational manuals incl) and membership costs  $80 (six monthly). Part of your fee goes to Toastmasters International (whom we affiliate to), and the rest stays with the club to fund events, pay for the use of our premises and to invest in our members training and development.

Who Can Join?

You may be a newbie or may have been a member of another club. We welcome anyone who is willing to come along and 'give it a go.' Not only will you learn how to become a confident speaker, roles are assigned weekly to hone those leadership skills. We encourage members to dedicate enough time to participate and make a difference not only in their own lives but to our club and wider organisation.

Benefits of Joining

There are several benefits to becoming a member of our organization. Not only will you learn the different aspects of public speaking, you'll also be privileged to listen to some very proficient speakers talk on a range of different genre - from the hilarious to the emotionally poignant. Our members are close friends and we have a great time when we get together. Sharing common interests makes it a lot easier to move forward together, and we hope to expand our reach to encourage other like minded individuals to join us.
