Meetings
Can I just show up to a meeting?
Sure! Guests are always welcome at Toastmasters meetings. Sometimes it’s easier to meet new people when you bring a friend along!
What happens at a meeting?
Meetings are filled with laughter, learning, listening, and, yes, speaking. One member, appointed as the Toastmasters of the Evening presides over the meeting. Prepared speeches are given and evaluated by members. Impromptu speaking skills based on a question and answer format are practiced in the "Table Topics" portion of the meeting. Visitors are invited to participate in the meeting if they want to. Each prepared speech is evaluated along with the meeting itself. A meeting Timer lets everyone who spoke know how long they talked, and a meeting Grammarian gives feedback on how well people used the language. The Toastmaster of the Evening wraps up the session and adjourns the meeting.
What will happen when I visit?
You will be warmly greeted and provided with a meeting agenda. All of us remember what it was like attending a meeting for the first time so we will explain what is happening and invite you to relax and enjoy the presentations. You may be asked if you'd like to participate in the meeting (which you may simply decline). You may also be asked at the close of the meeting to share your thoughts (again, you may simply decline). You will be invited to attend the next meeting!
Are your meetings accessible?
Lucan Toastmasters meet in the Springfield Hotel which is fully accessible with special accommodations such as handicapped parking and a ramp to access the building. Please call the club ahead of time so that we can be sure to arrange for assistance. Other accommodations such as printed material formatted in Braille or for low vision should be requested at least a month in advance to make sure it can be secured from Toastmasters International. |
