Here’s what you might expect in a standard event:
Warm Welcome & Introductions
The meeting starts with greetings from the Toastmaster of the Day (the host), who sets the theme and keeps everything flowing.
Prepared Speeches
A few members deliver speeches they’ve been working on as part of the Toastmasters Pathways programme, which develops specific skills (e.g., persuasive speaking, project management, storytelling).
Table Topics (Impromptu Speaking)
Members (and sometimes guests) are called on to give short, spontaneous speeches (1–2 minutes) on surprise topics. This builds quick-thinking and confidence.
Evaluations
Each prepared speech is given an evaluator, who provides constructive feedback. There are also mini-reports from the Grammarian (language use), Ah-Counter (filler words), and Timer (time management).
General Evaluator
Gives an overview of the whole meeting, noting strengths and areas to improve.
Networking & Socialising
After the formal agenda, members and guests often chat, share experiences, and build connections.
The atmosphere is supportive, encouraging, and fun, with lots of clapping and positive reinforcement.
