What a great night it was last night with our first ever ‘official’ (judged and scored) Club Debate! My what a battle. With a moot like ‘Mother knows best for her child’ it was bound to get messy, and the teams did not disappoint. With Jan leading those in favour of the moot, she gave...

With three major speeches in one sitting, tonight was as diverse and thought-provoking as an evening could be.  We traversed from Rohit’s fantastic analysis of the cons of TV advertising, to Tim’s technical session on mathematical kiwiana then to Tasha’s shocking and oh-so-captivating account of USA guns laws.  Table-topics was hilarious as Rebecca lead us...

Tonight was an all-round high quality evening. High quality speeches, high quality language and even some high quality impersonations. And the impersonations kicked off with a brilliant rendition of Winston Churchill’s famous WWII speech, complete with accent and Churchill-gestures. Hot on his heels was Jonathan with ‘Today in history’ which began at 2AD and wrapped...

With three speeches and six table topics tonight, Catherdral City Toastmasters was on fire with some brilliant performances complete with the usual seasoning of entertainment and at times laugh-out-loud comedy.

What a night! We had the trifecta tonight at Cathedral City, With our three speakers Jan, Randall and Scott. We were treated to three amazing speeches that Inspired us, left us in awe and even a few dry throats (prelude to juicy eyes). What trio of speakers without a trio of awesome evaluators.

Tonight was one of those great nights.  An enthralling icebreaker from Tasha on being stranded at sea in shark infested waters.  A captivating CC speech from Kathy, chasing her dreams of seahorses and a side-splitting bard from Gary on the merits of smart underpants.  Then who could forget the mad progression of table-topics that weaved...

A great night tonight. A real impromptu evening, with a few members unable to make it we had our Toast Master Dave Brierly step in with a humorous speech and Ellie giving an educational about a….Flower. Oh and an inspirational Bard from Inka. Also our newbies put in a solid effort, they are growing fast...

Toastmasters tonight was one of those really memorable evenings. Scott’s icebreaker had us gripped, as he retold his stories on viticulture, Iraq, private investigation and more. Tarsha really moved the audience with her reading about the moment the Pike River Mine exploded. A great educational on the distinguished club program from Gary and a fun...
