Solent Speakers Club -Toastmasters - Fareham

I was introduced to Toastmasters because I wanted to improve my spoken communication skills, and my first visit was so welcoming. The speakers were so good at their delivery, I was very inspired.

Solent Speakers were very welcoming and I joined, and have been a member since 2019. I thoroughly enjoy the meetings, it has vastly improved my confidence and skills. I thought it was just about improving my delivery in business, but it has applied to all aspects of my life, business and personal skills.

I would recommend visiting and joining, as it is such a boost in confidence, and so many different levels and people, different reasons why people join, and really a nugget of learning is gleamed every time.

Visited the Solent Speakers last night for the first time. I'm not sure what I expected, but something like portly men in red tails. It's nothing like that. Everyone was relaxed and friendly. The group is diverse in age and personality so you won't have to worry about being too old, too young or any other reason that you think you may not fit.

I was expecting to observe from the sidelines at my first meeting but I was included as if I was a member. This meant, introducing myself, joining in the ice breaker which is answering a question in 15 seconds and the table talk which is a 1-2 minute impromptu talk.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to become a member. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their communication at any level. It seems you can participate as little or as much as you need. There was no pressure and I felt completely comfortable. You can visit 2-3 times before joining but the membership is low cost.

A wonderfully supportive club aimed to help you develop in speaking, confidence and presentation. Everyone at Solent Speakers was incredibly helpful and gave great insights into how to improve. I couldn't recommend it enough!

I have been a member of Solent Speakers since May 2020 and find the group really friendly and welcoming. The speeches are excellent, as are the evaluations. The evenings are really enjoyable, interesting and well structured. Solent Speakers offers a safe, supportive and nurturing environment to its speakers. Thanks for making me feel so welcome!
