Any local members on here, or participants?

every so often i'll skim over what wikeeypeedia reckons toastmasters is and some of it appeals to me. so every so often i make a mental note to find out more...

but then there's the whole thing where i can't even dictate a shopping list to himself without saying ''umm'' about 40,000 times... i can't imagine anything being able to drum that out of me so i dismiss the idea again

Thee are probably a lot worse habits a public speaker can have!

Have been to the Ballina group. Must make an effort to get back to it.

Have you been to a lot of them Lucy?

A couple but to be honest the age group of the participants is a good bit older than I am - very few young people taking part. I wonder has that changed. Do you know?

No, I haven't been to any of the meetings but looking at the Ballina website would lead me to think I'd be one of the youngest in it!

Are there any costs incurred by being a member or participant, do you know?

Have you got a link to the Ballina site?
