Christchurch Speakers (since 2018)

This month: Christmas Special.
The best exercise for speaking is speaking. This month we will have a Christmas theme and everyone will get an opportunity to deliver something with a Christmas theme to it. You can prepare a speech, bring a passage to read from a book, magazine or the internet, prepare a few jokes OR just turn up :)

Christchurch Speakers is a relaxed, supportive and light-hearted monthly meetup where everyone gets at least two opportunities to speak.

Build your confidence by speaking in many different ways. Whether you deliver a prepared or impromptu speech, a PowerPoint/Keynote presentation, tell jokes or a story, or do one of the several exercises we conjure up, you will develop confidence and competence speaking.

Who's this for? Everyone! Both experienced speakers and complete beginners, will improve with more practice and encouraging feedback.

If you want to deliver a work presentation, best man’s speech, tell us about your travels or your ideas or simply improve your English then.... here’s your chance!

Each monthly meetup may include:

• quick round-the-room icebreaker
• prepared speeches
• impromptu speaking
• various public speaking activities, games, drama, role-playing
• readings from books, poems, articles, movies or plays

We’re all about learning by doing and getting a little better each time.
No pressure to be polished or perfect. Our favourite saying? You can’t get it wrong!

Organised by two experienced Toastmasters, we know how to make you feel welcome, have fun and build confidence in a supportive environment.

Cost is $5 cash to help cover venue costs, tea, coffee, biscuits and advertising.

You can’t get better by just reading about it so come along and have a go :)
