Toastmasters is a world wide, non-profit organisation run entirely by members. World Headquarters is in Santa Anna, California from where the educational manuals and materials are published and distributed. There are 44 clubs in the Wellington/HuttValley/Gold Coast regions and it is the fastest growing voluntary organisation in New Zealand. At every Toastmasters meeting, every member has a role. No one ever sits through a meeting without participating. You may be scheduled to give one of the speeches, or to evaluate the speech of another member.  You could be the timekeeper with a stopwatch and a set of coloured lights to tell speakers when their time is up. Or you might participate in the ‘Impromptu Speaking’ session. Once you get experienced you will be scheduled to Chair and organise the meeting. Within a very short time, you will find that your confidence and ability at public speaking rises dramatically. As does your leadership skills. Toastmasters is not for people who are good at public speaking. Toastmasters is for people who are scared out of their wits at the thought of it. The interesting thing about Toastmasters, is that once they get some experience, you can’t shut them up. Ohariu has a range diverse range of fascinating members. Come and meet them. The Cost? It depends upon the time of the year you join. There is a joining fee which goes to World Headquarters from whom you receive the New Members Kitset containing your personal Communication Manual which outlines the 10 Speech Assignments to be given at the club over the course of two years. It also contains your Leadership Manual, plus other Educational Manuals ranging from ‘How to Conduct a Meeting’ to ‘Giving Effective Evaluations’, there is also the cost we pay to hire the Johnsonville Community Centre Rooms, and of course, to provide Coffee, Tea, and biscuits. All in all it equates to about a cup of cappuccino a week. The Mission of Toastmasters International Toastmasters International is the leading movement devoted to making effective oral communication a worldwide reality. Through its member Clubs, Toastmasters International helps men and women learn the arts of speaking, listening, and thinking - vital skills that promote self-actualization, enhance leadership potential, foster human understanding, and contribute to the betterment of mankind. It is basic to this mission that Toastmasters International continually expand its worldwide network of Clubs, thereby offering ever-greater numbers of people the opportunity to benefit from its programs. SpeechCraft / Youth Leadership Courses: We occasionally run speechcraft courses, these are intensive training over 6 or 8 sessions. We did a Speechcraft Course for the Medical Assurance Association of Johnsonville in 2008, and a Public Speaking and Leadership Course for the Federation of Farmers. Contact Rob if interested. Youth Leadership is a very successful programme run each Term 1 for the Senior Students at Wadestown School.
