Wangaratta Toastmasters

Thank you, Wodonga Toastmasters for hosting Jo, Leah and Charles from Wangaratta Toadtmasters on Tuesday. We had a great evening with Charlrs taking out your Oscar Award.

In our next meeting on Wednesday 24th July, Leah will lead Club members in reaching a consensus to plan who is responsible for individual roles in future meetings. This is a Level 3 educational project and helps participants develop the ability to conduct workplace meetings so that all colleagues are heard and their comments considered.

Much enjoyment in celebrating our Changeover Meeting with Round Robin and Table Topics with a Twist. Thanks to all our participants for the creation of a storyline about naming the months of the year.

Congratulations to Charles Halloran for taking out our Club’s Best Speaker and Best Evaluator Awards for 2023-2024.

Wangaratta Toastmasters are adaptable. Meeting successfully moved to an online format with a couple of hours notice. Thanks Team!

Following an agenda is a skill developed in Toastmasters. This ensures when you are running meetings in your workplace or voluntary organisation, that meetings are efficient, and people leave on time. It also helps us develop the skill of delivering our message succinctly.
