"It's a friendly, supportive club. It makes learning easy."

"I would definitley recommend Toastmasters to everyone. Toastmasters is a place where you can challenge yourself to grow and stretch not just with your public speaking, but as a person. Toastmasters has added another fulfilling dimension to my life and everytime I go to a metting I always leave feeling inspired and grateful to be in such a lovely supportive club. So thank you Toastmasters from my heart :)"

"Toastmasters is more than just a speech club, its a collection of people from all walks of life who are interested in personal development , communication and beer. The first time I spoke in public I went blind (no joke) and now I perform stand up comedy outside of the club and I am off to Israel to take part in a storytelling workshop for a month all because of Toastmasters. Join if you want to take on the biggest fear in the world public speaking (take that skydivers)"

"I had no idea it would be this much fun!"

"Toastmasters has been amazing for me. I've learned so much about myself through all the challenges it has provided. I succeeded at some challenges and failed at others but the brilliant thing about Toastmasters is it provides an environment where failure is embraced and as a result people learn fast. I haven't even been aware of the fact that I've been learning, but when I compare how I would have addressed a crowd three years ago to how I adress a crowd now, the difference astounds me. It's also given me leadership opportunties that I wouldn't be able to get anywhere else. I'd recommend it to anyone."
