At Bon
Apetit Toastmasters Club we believe we have found the perfect menu for a great night out
-- good food, good company and, most importantly, an
opportunity to improve our communication and leadership skills in a friendly
and supportive environment.
|
|
Bon Apetit Toastmasters meet
on the second Wednesday of every month at a restaurant on Sydney's North Shore
or Northern Beaches at
7pm
for 7.30pm until approximately 10pm.
We usually look for BYO venues with a two course
meal for under $35.

Meeting Dates for 2006
February 8, March 8, April 12, May 10, June 14
|
In addition to traditional Toastmasters meeting roles, we also have:
- A Masked wine tasting activity
- Food reviews
- Book or movie reviews
and we meet in a different restaurant each month.
|
At each meeting,
Toastmasters are given assignments that may include anything from presenting a
Toast to chairing the meeting. The
agenda includes unique, varied assignments – we evaluate the meal; test our
wine knowledge at an Options session; answer impromptu questions at Table
Topics; talk about a book or movie or present a prepared speech. All the assignments are evaluated so we all
learn by our experiences.

There is a one-off joining
fee (approximately $42) and an annual subscription of $8 a month, paid half
yearly. On joining as a new member you
will receive a set of manuals which will assist you to reach your goals through
the Toastmasters program.
Ours is just one of over
10,000 clubs worldwide so we know the program works! Members receive a monthly
magazine, “The Toastmaster”, which provides value insights
on communication and leadership from Toastmasters worldwide.
|
Many of our members are Dual members. They are financial members of another
Toastmasters club, so they only pay the monthly membership fee and the meal
cost.
Contact our President, , for more details.

Toastmasters progress at
their own pace through the various speech manuals. Our Club has experienced members who are
happy to act as a mentor to guide you for as long as you feel you have the need
– we want to make your Toastmaster experience a rewarding and enjoyable
experience.
We look forward to accepting
you as a member however, you are welcome as a guest as often as you like.
