Our club is based in Pretoria, South Africa. Our meeting venue is in Menlyn, situated in the commercial heartland of the capital city.
The difference to a Toastmaster’s success is Practice. Instead of passively listening to lectures, people can truly improve their public speaking skills by speaking in front of others regularly.
Our club provides a supportive atmosphere for members to speak before the club. By taking advantage of our speaking opportunities, you’ll find that those shy and awkward feelings with public speaking will begin to diminish quickly.
You’re welcome to become a guest at our meetings to see how we help members improve their skills. Our meetings are held at 18:30 for 19:00 every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month at the Lions Club, Umgazi road, Menlo Park.
Upon signing up, you receive a training manual and will be assigned to a mentor. Your first speech is a four-minute “ice-breaker” that tells others about yourself.
Our membership fees comprise of an once-off joining fee of R 160 and semi-annual fees of R 500. The semi-annual fees are due by every member twice a year by the end of March and September.
For more information, feel free enter your details in the visitors book and we will contact you.

Hi,
I am an aspiring motivational speaker and I would like to know what the club can offer me in this regard. I am comfortable with speaking in front of a crowd, but I feel that I can perfect it with the right help.
Please advice me if joining the club can help me reach my desired goal.
With many thanks,

Hi Toastmasters, Chris,
I am interested in joining the Pretoria Toastmasters and learning/contributing to learning. I have read the introductory text and learned that meetings are held in Menlo Park every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the week. This would mean that the January meetings are on 11th and 25th January 2012. Please let me know if these dates are correct so I can attend.
Many thanks

Hi, I would love to attend. When is your next meeting and where could I sign up?
My 14 year old daughter is eager to gain more confidence and speak in public. She is Afrikaans speaking and also an avid reader of English books. Can she join your club or can you refer me to an organisation that can accommodate her?
Hello Hannelize
Unfortunately she cannot join the club as Toastmasters rules require that one be 18 and out of school before joining. Toastmasters do however present Speechcraft courses at various high schools and she may be able to attend one of those at her school. If the school does not offer it she can suggest it to them, and I can find the correct people to contact at Toastmasters.

Hi, My name is Michael and I would like to join the club but I’m not moble and I stay in Midrand.
Hi Michael
Lack of mobility may be a problem. I don’t believe there vare any clubs in Midrand. Your closest clubs are probably Centurion and Central Centurion. Possibly you should comtact them to see if they can help.
