25.01.2022 Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well and are looking forward to our next meeting! This Thursday night (18/10/2018) we have another exciting meeting planned which we invite you all to come along to! (I have attached the location and time at the bottom of this post) If you have been feeling uneasy or a bit nervous about coming along to a meeting, that's okay! We have all been there at some point, but Toastmasters is a safe learning environment for all of us to grow toget...her. The best way to learn is to jump right into the deep end. Bring a friend if it will help you feel better on the night. Everyone is welcome here at Toastmasters. Secondly, a few weeks ago we welcomed two new official Toastmasters members to our club! We are excited to have Danny and Kerry joining the journey that Toastmasters has put us all on! On behalf of Newcastle Toastmasters, I would like to welcome Danny and Kerry to our club! Time: 6:45pm Meet and Greet, 7pm Start of Meeting Location: South Newcastle Leagues Club ANZAC Room 46 Llewellyn Street Merewether, NSW 2291 Australia For more information, please visit our website: http://www.newcastletoastmasters.org.au

25.01.2022 Hi Everyone, It has been a while since anything has been posted here to the Facebook page but I have a few announcements I would like to make... Firstly, I just want to congratulate Simon and Lynelle for their extraordinary results at the Area 15 Humorous Speech and Table topics contest on November 11th. Simon took home first place with his Humour Speech and Lynelle also won the Table Topics segment. Congratulations to these two for an amazing accomplishment. They are also go...ing to represent area 15 at the Division Competition on April 13th of Next Year. Secondly, there will be NO Newcastle Toastmasters meeting this week (29/11) because it is the 5th Thursday of the month. If you were thinking of coming along, please wait till the following week to join us. I will make another post on Thursday as a last minute reminder. Again, a huge congrats to Simon and Lynelle!

20.01.2022 Last night was an emotional moment for me at Newcastle Toastmasters NSW. My last meeting after joining the club on the 11/07/2019 due to relocation. Since then, I’ve learnt an enormous amount of public speaking, communication, active listening and leadership skills. I am super grateful for my time and the amazing people who were part of my journey helping me grow and become the person I am today. However, it’s not only about the growth that comes with it. It’s about the mess...age that I have shared and conveyed during my speeches and presentation. Members of the club who have acknowledged my work and quoting parts of my speeches stating the positive impact that those messages have had on them were a testament to my why. When ever I feel doubt or question my ability, I promise to remind myself of my why and continue with confidence sharing the love, inspiring and empowering others to live their ultimate best lives. So I’m curious, what’s your why? Is it to overcome your fear of public speaking, improving your communication skills perhaps or maybe you enjoy being around likeminded people? What ever the reason, you are invited to come and join in on the fun where Toastmasters start back in the new year on the 21/01/2021. Massive shoutout goes out to VPE, Brian Prior, Club President, Naomi Tyrrell and the entire committee and Toastmaster members for their continued success, commitment and dedication to the club. Sheb

20.01.2022 Congratulations to Ian for taking the award for his first role as Evaluator. Well done!

On top of this, a treasured member returned to club... It was only last Thursday where, we as a club, were able to congratulate Maria on being the Newcastle Toastmaster of the Year.

14.01.2022 Public speaking is more than standing in front of a group and talking; you also need to engage your audience. If you want to improve your public speaking you are more than welcome to join us on Zoom virtual meeting this Thursday from 6:45pm to 9:00pm session. Message us for meeting link.... Thank you!!

13.01.2022 The Power of the letter P!! Thursday nights meeting was POWERFUL. We had a guest visitor come to share her speech. The Power of Words. Thought it could be fun to make a running list of all the Powerful P words that we can all use in our everyday life to empower us.... Share your word in the comments :)

12.01.2022 Congratulations to some of the winners of the Financial year. Dennis for Most Improved, Gwen the Grammarians Award, Rosalie for Toastmaster of the year as well as achieving the highest accomplishment ... Communication Gold.

12.01.2022 Woo Hoo, we welcome another 2 members to our club, eager to learn how to 'do' public speaking and leadership better. We love the Toastmasters Promise as it signals that each of us is willing to be responsible to ourselves and others in our club on this daunting (and FUN) journey! If you are interested, come along as a visitor one Thursday night..

11.01.2022 We have a special announcement to make... Speechcraft is up and running again at the start of this year!!! For those of you who don't know, speechcraft is an 8 week course that provides fundamental skills in public speaking, both impromptu and prepared. I have attached 2 images of the current flyer and I encourage you all to look at it because it provides so much detailed information about what speechcraft is and why it is important.... Many people who complete speechcraft often go on to be very effective communicators. Simon, who won the area 15 humorous speech contest, started his Toastmaster career by completing speechcraft only a few short months prior to the contest. If you have any questions, please feel free to message the page or get in contact with Brian (who will be running the course) via phone 0415 081 610 or email [email protected].

We all came together to celebrate and have some fun and had Dirty Santa (like Secret Santa but different) and even did Table Topics around what presents we opened. Some of them were a little interesting to talk 60 seconds about.

07.01.2022 Our Christmas Party was heaps of fun! Especially playing the Dirty Santa Game where you had to talk for 60 seconds about the gift you unwrapped. Note how well our members use their hands ... and the fun of unusual gifts! We had a great turn out of members, family and partners... something like 25 of us! Loved the Trivia competition and having a meal with you all.... Such great experience to speak in a noisy environment too. See you at our next meeting 16 Jan Thursday night - have a very happy and healthy holiday and may you SPEAK UP when the opportunity arises. If you have any pics from the night, please share!

06.01.2022 2019 Contest was a HUGE success! Table Topics had 11 contestants with Stewart Todhunter 3rd place followed by Naomi Turrell 2nd and Sheb Giner taking out top honour. The Humorous Speech had 4 contestants; Rosalie Grayson 3rd followed by Simon Turpin 2nd and Rick Di Mercola First Place. A couple of years ago, NONE of these folks would have dared to speak in public. And just looked at them now.... Toastmasters is a fun way to gain new skills. As Sheb says, it's "an amazing way to boost confidence and meet like minded people." If you're curious, come join us as a Visitor on a Thursday night! See you 6;45 before our 7pm sharp start. Thanks to Newlake Toastmasters Club (which meets fortnightly on a Tuesday night) for helping with judging!

03.01.2022 WOW - Brian Prior receiving his 25 year award in Toastmasters. Last night he admitted that he used to be shy and think everyone else at business meetings knew more than him. But after learning confidence in Public Speaking through Toastmasters, he couldn't wait to be the first to speak. And he speaks so well now, inspiring and educating, that he also took out The Presidents Award at last nights meeting. CONGRATULATIONS BRIAN!
