Geelong Toastmasters Club Win! We invite you to become part of this network for the opportunity to develop your communication skills in an enjoyable, relaxed and positive environment.

Geelong Toastmasters can assist in refining your public speaking skills in a safe, warm, supportive, friendly environment by providing the forum, the structure, along with tips for improvement. Geelong Toastmasters Club (formerly known as City of Greater Geelong Toastmasters Club) forms part of Toastmasters International, a non- profit organisation spanning 116 countries with the aim of promoting oral communication and skills in leadership. Our club membership hails from all walks of life, bringing together a wide range of experiences and speaking abilities which we believe enriches our friendly and supportive club. Whatever your speaking capabilities, the doors to the Geelong Toastmasters are always open. We welcome guests to our meetings so the benefits of Toastmasters can be experienced first-hand. Our club meets every second and last Thursday of each month at the South Barwon Community Centre Inc, 33 Mt Pleasant Road, Belmont. Guests and members arrive by 6:15 pm. Meetings commence at 6:30 pm and conclude at 9.00pm.

🌼 Spring 🌷 was our theme at last week's meeting and of course we asked our speakers all about rejuvenation and renewal.

It's easy to get lost in the weeds of wet and miserable weather. But here's a few small reminders from our winners of 🥇 Best Speaker for the night, Melissa.

And congratulations to our other awarded speakers:
🥇Best Evaluator: Mansi
🥇Best Tabletopics: Cyril

Reminder that next week's meeting is cancelled due to the Friday public holiday and school holidays. We'll see you all for our first competition of the year on 8th October 👀

🤔 What if ... you made small, incremental changes, would that be easier than making one big change? Last night's meeting was an interesting one for the club, with changes to the meeting format and room setup, we certainly gave everyone a bit of a challenge!

But these legends were the ones who tackled it head on and came out on top:
🥇 Best Speaker: Jeremy for his bass-less Icebreaker 👏 hands being unemployed was a 🤌 line
🥇 Best Table Topics: Simone for the dive into her admiration of IKEA interior decorators
🥇 Best Evaluator: Cyril, who did an incredible job evaluating ALL FIVE Table Topics

10th September is our next meeting and the last one before the competition season starts 🏁

Please note that our usual meeting on 24th September is cancelled due to the public holiday and the school holidays.

See you on the 10th! Arrival at 6:15pm for a 6:30pm start at the South Barwon Community Centre

Winners of the day were 🥁 *drum roll*

What to expect from a regular Toastmasters meeting:

🦤 Round robin - a chance for each meeting attendee to warm up and answer a question in 30 seconds or less. A quick game is a good game!

💬 Prepared speeches - 2-4 members will present their speeches that work towards their pathways.

🗣 Table Topics - 4 questions asked on the spot with 2 min to respond. Will you be asked to answer? Who knows!

🫖 BREAK TIME

📚 Evaluations - most important part of the night, the evaluations. A chance for members to give feedback and give recommendations for improvement.

And that's it! Even if you're not speaking, there are so many chances to speak and learn across every meeting. We hope to see you at a meeting soon
