This week's Monday Musing is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American essayist and one of the most popular public lecturers of the 1800s. It comes from his essay "Power" (1860), and it's a good reminder that every confident speaker started somewhere.

Robina Toastmasters provides a supportive environment for you to develop your skills and confidence in public speaking.

This Wednesday the 14th our Toastmaster is Jeff Thomas, with the theme “What Makes Me Laugh.”

“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.” — Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Is it a clever pun, a bit of slapstick, or a story that goes hilariously wrong? Join us as we explore the things that tickle our funny bones.

We’ll hear prepared speeches with evaluations, including a Successful Club Series presentation, and Peter Haigh will be moderating a special panel discussion. We'll also have a table topics segment!

Join us in person or online for an evening of stories, laughs, and great conversation. 😄

That was a rewarding Sunday for Robina Toastmasters at the Area 6 Contest!

We had a good turnout of members helping the contest run smoothly in their various roles:, one of the Contest Judges (thank you Lou), Contest Chair for the Table Topics Speech Contest (thank you Michael), Tally Counter (thank you Ryan), contribution to catering (thank you Zeb) and support crew (thank you Mihoko and Andrew). The contestants gave 100% and the results speak for themselves!

A huge congratulations to Keith for winning the Table Topics contest, with his own personal story for “The moment I knew…”.

And to Ryan for giving the speech at the Humorous contest describing his life enhancing experience with the Korean police, a truly unique true story, which delivered engaging, humorous content for the audience members. He achieved 2nd place.

At the Evaluation Contest, Jeff delivered a comprehensive evaluation of the test speech, taking home 3rd place!

Congratulations to Zeb, who delivered a provoking and thoughtful speech, based on his consideration of his priorities in light of challenges in a boating adventure in Vietnam, came 3rd in the International Contest.

Keith will go on to represent Area 6 at the Southern Division contest in March 2027. Right now, all contestants and members can reflect on the achievements at the Area 6 contests and the contests leading to it!,

Well done, Robina Toastmasters!
