A huge congratulations to our award recipients from our latest meeting!
🏆 Hannelie – Best Speaker

🏆 Mike – Best Table Topics Speaker
Every award represents more than just a great performance on the night. It reflects the courage to step forward, the commitment to continuous improvement, and the willingness to encourage and inspire others.
One of the things I love most about Toastmasters is that every member is on their own journey of growth. Whether you're delivering your first speech, evaluating a fellow member, or tackling an impromptu Table Topic, every meeting is an opportunity to become a more confident communicator and leader.
Congratulations once again to our winners, and thank you to every member who made the meeting engaging, encouraging, and fun. Your support is what makes Franklin Toastmasters such a fantastic place to learn, grow, and build lasting friendships.
If you've ever thought about improving your communication or leadership skills, why not come along as our guest? We'd love to meet you!

🎤 What is Toastmasters, and why should you join?
Most people think Toastmasters is just about public speaking.
It isn't.
Toastmasters is about becoming the best version of yourself.
It's where you learn to communicate with confidence, think on your feet, lead with purpose, and inspire others. Whether you're presenting in the boardroom, interviewing for your dream job, speaking at a wedding, leading a team, or simply wanting to express yourself more confidently, the skills you develop here will benefit every area of your life.
At our club, you'll find:
✨ A safe, encouraging environment to grow.
✨ Constructive feedback that helps you improve every meeting.
✨ Leadership opportunities that build confidence and character.
✨ A supportive community that celebrates your successes and encourages you through your challenges.
✨ Friendships with people who genuinely want to see you succeed.
You don't need to be an experienced speaker to join. In fact, many of us started because we were nervous about speaking in front of others. We all grow together, one speech at a time.
Every meeting is an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone—and discover just how capable you really are.
If you've ever wanted to become a more confident communicator, a stronger leader, or simply meet an incredible group of supportive people, we'd love to welcome you.
Come along as our guest. You might just discover that one of the best investments you'll ever make is in yourself.

📸 A few snapshots from our Toastmasters meeting on 15 June!
Many people think Toastmasters is just about public speaking, but it is so much more than that.
Toastmasters is a place where ordinary people come together to grow into the best version of themselves. It is a safe, supportive environment where we encourage one another, celebrate successes, learn from mistakes, and challenge ourselves to step outside our comfort zones.
Every meeting provides opportunities to develop communication skills, leadership abilities, confidence, active listening, critical thinking, and the courage to try something new. Whether it's delivering a prepared speech, participating in Table Topics, or providing constructive feedback, every role helps us grow.
One of the greatest benefits is the friendships that develop along the way. We laugh together, learn together, support one another, and create connections that extend far beyond the meeting room.
Growth doesn't happen inside our comfort zones. It happens when we take that first step, speak up, volunteer for a role, or challenge ourselves to do something we never thought possible.
If you've ever wanted to become a more confident communicator, a stronger leader, or simply connect with an encouraging group of people, we'd love to welcome you as a guest.
The journey of personal growth is always better when you don't walk it alone. 🌱✨

The Spirit of ANZAC was our theme tonight.

The speeches were really touching and honestly quite inspiring. You could feel the meaning behind each one, especially tying back to what ANZAC truly represents.

Word of the Day was Gallantry: showing bravery, courage, and honour, especially in difficult moments .Which fit perfectly with the vibe of the night.

👏 Best Speech: Rachel – introducing the Hauraki Coromandel Conservation Week event
🎤 Best Evaluator: Andy – evaluating Michael’s ANZAC 2026 speech
🏆 Table Topics Winner: our guest Vickie

A big thank you to our Toastmaster of the evening, Katrina, for weaving in the history throughout the meeting and giving us a real glimpse into what ANZAC means.

Simple night, but a meaningful one.
Lest we forget.

Our next meeting is May 4 — and yes… May the force be with you !
