Welcome
Spring is here, so why not make a new start in your life by meeting a great crowd of people who get together every couple of weeks to improve their communication skills?
If you want to improve your confidence when speaking in front of an audience… and do so with the support of a group of like-minded people – then join us in Swords on a Tuesday evening.
Our club – East Coast Toastmasters – is a small friendly public-speaking club based in Swords, Co. Dublin.
We meet in the Airside Premier Inn every 2nd Tuesday at 8.15pm - to see our exact meeting dates, just click here.
The meetings are friendly, fun and supportive and we usually have 10 to 20 people. And, unlike some of the larger clubs, you can have plenty of opportunity to contribute yourself (only if you wish to, of course).
The original aim of Toastmasters was ‘’to afford practice and training’ in the art of public speaking and promote sociability and good fellowship among its members,” and that is exactly what we in the East Coast club provide for our members.
Guests are very welcome to join our meetings to see how the Club members practice and improve their Public Speaking skills.
Our principal aim is to help our members become comfortable in front of an audience. By participating in the meeting we practice and learn the basic skills of both “off the cuff” speaking and prepared speaking.
We meet fortnightly on Tuesday evenings for about 2 hours and we gain life enhancing experience by filling a role at the meeting. The roles range from presenting ideas as a prepared speech or an impromptu response, to serving as timer, evaluator or simply reading a poem or a piece of prose.
At the meetings there is no instructor; instead, feedback is given to each speaker by another member in a positive manner focusing on what was done right, and what might be improved for the next time.
For a list of meeting dates, click the Club Calendar tab, and then contact us, or just show up for a meeting. You will be very welcome.
