Central Coast Speakers Toastmasters is inviting all poets and writers to present their work at a special meeting on Wednesday, May 24.
Spokesperson Tom Haberkorn said presenters would each be given four-five minutes to promote their work to an appreciative audience.
“Members are friendly and enjoy listening to new speakers,” he said.
“This is for all of the writers, poets and storytellers in our community.
“We are going to showcase their talents and give all who attend a chance to read one of their articles or poems to the group.
“If requested, we can offer positive feedback privately.
“Come and listen to other poets’ and writers’ works and gain inspiration.
“There are no costs involved in attending the meeting; invite your fellow writers along as well.
“Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation.
“Whatever your position, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way to gain great communication skills.
“By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities.
“You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.
“The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with speaking assignment.
“Constructive evaluation is at the heart of the Toastmasters program.
“Each time you give a presentation, an evaluator will point out your strengths and suggest improvements.
“It’s a great way of building on the skills you already have.”
The Poets and Writers meeting will be held at Archie’s Brasserie in the Central Coast Leagues Club on Wednesday, May 24.
Arrive at 12.15pm for a 12.30pm start.
