Members of South Burnett Toastmasters have fun while they learn how to improve their public speaking skills at the group’s fortnightly meetings (Photo: Marietta Wetzig)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Light or heavy, day or night, we live in a world of contrast. And South Burnett Toastmasters will experience some of these contrasts at their next few meetings.<\/p>\n

On the light side, the last meeting saw considerable fun enjoyed by all as the night’s theme was \u201cSurprise\u201d.<\/p>\n

Individual Toastmasters brought along little surprise items and introductions were made in a round robin based on a “pass the parcel” allocation system.<\/p>\n

Members and guests threw themselves with gusto into the evening.<\/p>\n

By contrast, the next meeting will be staging speaking contests.<\/p>\n

This is the heavier side – serious indeed!<\/p>\n

The first contests that will be staged are the Humorous Speech and the Evaluation.<\/p>\n

These will be followed the next evening with Table Topics, an impromptu mini-speech and the International Speech.<\/p>\n

Toastmasters is not a teaching organisation but a learning-by-doing group.<\/p>\n

In a light-hearted, normal meeting, inexperienced and experienced alike get the chance to practice and hone their public speaking skills.<\/p>\n

This is an ideal place to learn the skills and the confidence to speak in front of a group of people, small or large.<\/p>\n

Toastmasters meet at the Kingaroy RSL every 1st, 3rd and 5th Thursday of the month at 7:00pm.<\/p>\n
