Membership Information

Each Toastmasters club is unique and has its own personality. We suggest that you visit a couple if possible, feel for whether it is suitable for your purpose and your goals. Then join.

Both men and women can join.

Age, we are not all oldies. Most are still in pre-retirement age! One thing is for certain - all are active in the minds and active in the community.

Launceston is a dynamic club. Quite relaxed and friendly in nature.

Who makes up the membership of Toastmasters?

Basically we are from various walks of life. Among us are professionals, students, farmers, self employed. All are aiming to improve their communication and leadership skills.

All of us come into Toastmasters at different skill levels. Some wanted to over come and control our fear of getting up in front of a group.

Some want to polish their skills, iron out some "not so good" habits which you cannot get rid of from short speaking courses.
Some Cheeky Members!

Some stay to develop their leadership skills by contributing back in helping to run the clubs.

Some, love going into competitions to challenge and sharpen their skills. To do the best they can.

Opportunities are endless. Some have joinedToastmasters for no other reason than try to get comfortable in speaking in front a group. From these beginnings the possibilities are endless. You may become a club officer, learn to judge competitions or take a leading role in the southern districts of Australia..

The extended network of Toastmasters locally as well as world wide is just amazing with over 90 countries represented and a history of developing this excellent training programme over 80 years. I have met some of the greatest people through this network. Exceeding my expectations.
