Public Speaking

Toastmasters Clubs provide members with the opportunity to develop their public speaking and leadership skills within a supportive environment, which includes structured educational goals and constructive feedback. Members also benefit through significant personal growth and increased self-confidence. Toastmasters International is a not-for-profit educational organisation founded in California in 1924 by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley. It has a membership of over 352,000 in 16,400 member clubs located in 141 countries.

The Ashfield Toastmasters Club is one of six in Area 32, which is part of the Phillip Division of District 70, encompassing most of New South Wales.

Each year four competitions are held – members compete in the Humorous Speech Contest, the Table Topics Contest and the Evaluation Contest up to District level, while the International Speech Contest is an international competition, the winner of which is known as the World Champion of Public Speaking.

The Club is in its 12th year and has attained President’s Distinguished Club status in each of those years. The Club meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at 7:00PM, on Level 1 of the Ashfield Catholic and Community Club. Meetings run to an agenda, finishing at approximately 9:15PM. Guests are welcome to attend a meeting to see how they are organised, and have the opportunity to take part if they wish.
