Speaking is a practice,
not a finish line.

Whether you want to express ideas more clearly at work, speak in an additional language, or stay sharp as a regular presenter, a live, supportive audience helps you improve.

From The Terrace
to the meeting room.

We meet in the conference-suite building immediately behind St Andrew’s church—not inside the church itself.

02 In the room

Different skills.
One meeting.

Club members practise prepared and impromptu speaking, active listening, feedback, and practical roles. Guests are welcome to simply observe.Watch The Toastmasters Club Experience, an official Toastmasters International video, for a general overview of what happens in a meeting and why. Wellington meetings follow the same broad structure, but the details will not always match what is shown.

  1. Prepared speeches

    Members develop a clear message with a live audience, at their own pace and experience level.

  2. Table Topics™

    Table Topics gives members practice finding their words and shaping a short response without advance preparation.

  3. Listen and give feedback

    Members turn active listening into a clear, useful response—and learn from what others notice.

  4. Meeting roles

    Rotating responsibilities help members build practical listening, organisation, and leadership skills.

03 Your first visit

Come along.
Take your time.

Your first visit is free, and you can simply observe the whole meeting.

Email before you come so we can confirm the meeting and expect you at the entrance. Please arrive by 5:15pm; the meeting starts at 5:30pm, after which the building doors may be closed.

If you would like to take part, you can choose to introduce yourself, answer an impromptu Table Topics question, or do both. There is no pressure to speak.
