At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. Pania Toastmasters club is made up of approximately 15-20 people who meet once a week on Thursdays from 12 - 1pm. We finish on time, allowing for a "lunchbreak" type meeting.

Each meeting gives members several opportunities:

- Conduct meetings
Members learn how to plan and conduct meetings.

- Give impromptu speeches
Members present one- to two-minute, impromptu speeches about assigned topics.

- Present prepared speeches
Members present speeches based on projects from the Pathways learning experience— Toastmasters’ education program. Projects cover topics such as speech organisation, vocal variety, language, gestures and persuasion.

- Offer constructive evaluation
Every speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement.

- Pathways Learning Experience
Pathways is Toastmasters’ exciting, interactive and flexible education program. With 11 paths to choose from (and more in development), you have the option to pick which skills you want to focus on.
