Public speaking hosted at Ettalong

A local public speaking group has been chosen to host an interclub competition at the Ettalong Beach Club on Saturday, May 29.

After winning the Inter RSL Club Competition for the past three years, the local Toastmasters Club has been chosen to host the event which will attract several Toastmaster clubs from across the state.

"Ettalong Toastmasters Club have members from all walks of life," club coordinator Ms Robyn Reid said.

"We are a not-for-profit organisation which promotes confidence and well-being through speechcraft courses and regular meetings.

"The event has been run for the last 40 years by Cronulla RSL who founded the event and will be looking forward to winning it back this year.

"We would love the community to attend as it will be an entertainment event with fantastic speakers from each club trying to win the trophy for their club.

"We are charging $15 per head to cover the cost of the afternoon tea and the hiring of the venue."

The event will be held at the club from 1pm.

Formed in 1986, the Ettalong Beach War Memorial Toastmasters Club meets on the second Tuesday of every month to teach and inspire people who are not confident in public speaking.
