Members are assigned to observe and offer feedback on the impromptu (Table Topics) and prepared speeches. Evaluation helps everyone develop their skills - the speakers, evaluators, other members and guests.
The "traditional" model for evaluating a Toastmasters speech is "CRC" - offer a "Commendation" (positive comment), a "Recommendation" (suggestion for improvement), then another commendation. Our new Pathways Learning Experience offers a revised model - mention something the speaker excelled at, something they may want to work on and offer them a challenge for future projects.
We can be learners and teachers - it's at the heart of the Toastmasters experience.
People have been handing out poorly written cards with the sign language alphabet in exchange for cash - but they have nothing to do with any deaf charities.

"We know that they've been in different parts of Wellington [and] Auckland," said Rachel Noble from Deaf Action New Zealand.
She says a similar scam happened in the 1990s, and legitimate groups almost ended up having to pay for the crime. Read more

Each meeting includes up to four prepared speeches from members. The speeches are 4-7 minutes each, on a variety of topics and based on projects from one of the manuals in the "traditional" Toastmasters education programme (often the "Competent Communication" Manual) - or our "Pathways" Learning Experience, the online programme that was launched recently. Find out more about the exciting Pathways journey below!
Each communication project builds a particular skill - for example, structuring a speech, using body language or researching a topic.

Recently, tenants of a brand new development in Auckland’s Silverdale decided to organise a family BBQ day to get to know each other and their new neighbours down the lane.
“The best thing about this event is everyone coming together, and the kids having a great time. This is a great place to raise my kids.”

Hello! We are a Wellington family looking to buy a 3 to 4 bedroom property in the South/East suburbs. We'd love to do a private sale, if anyone is thinking of putting your house on the market but doesn't want all the hassle of decluttering, marketing, etc! Thanks.
As a guest at one of our meetings, one of the first things you'll experience is "Table Topics".

"Table Topics" gives members and guests the chance to speak "off the cuff" for up to 2 minutes on a given topic, often related to the meeting theme. We know this can be a bit scary if it's your first time at Toastmasters, so you're welcome to just get up and introduce yourself - or learn from the other speeches!
Hello Wellington!
I am a struggling millennial (not a trust fund baby nor an estate agent) who has finally saved up enough to buy a property up to the value of $400,000.

I am a struggling millennial (not a trust fund baby nor an estate agent) who has finally saved up enough to buy a property up to the value of $400,000.
I am putting the feelers out to see if there is anyone out there who would be interested in selling their home privately to me, within Wellington or Lower Hutt. I am not super fussy going in as an entry level buyer but do have the follow prerequisites:
- Preferably a unit or house with enough room for a dog.
- Either 1 bedroom with an office/studio or two bedrooms.
- Close to public transport- saving the planet one less car at a time.
If you have been thinking of selling your property but didn't want the hassle of open homes whilst paying huge amounts to real estate agents please send me a message.
Thanks Wellies.
