Do I need to register before attending a meeting?
Guests to our club are always made to feel very welcome. There is no need to register, just turn up on the night and have fun!
Who runs the meetings?
We don't have a single person who always takes charge of our meetings. Instead everyone
participates to practice and learn new skills by taking
a meeting role such as timer, evaluator or grammarian, giving a
prepared speech from the Toastmasters manual or taking part in the
impromptu speaking section called Table Topics.
Is it expensive to join?
No. If you compare our membership fees to various courses you can attend in London, 1st London Toastmasters is the least expensive and in our opinion the most effective way to learn public speaking and to develop confidence. Membership of 1st London Toastmasters is just £50 per year, plus a one off enrolment fee of £25 which pays for your speech manuals and a monthly magazine.
How can I join?
The
joining process is very simple at 1st London Toastmasters. You only
need to fill in a brief membership form and pay both the joining fee
and membership fees. You will need to be more than 18 years old to be
eligible for membership of Toastmasters International. If you prefer to
