Heaters on, speeches that warmed the room, and an impromptu session that kept the energy going. Great to see a first-time guest join us too.

We'll be at the Pokeno CBD Café & Bar, 7 Selby Street, with an earlier start at 6:30pm. It's an intimate setting so numbers are limited.

Where does your odyssey begin?
Tonight at Pokeno Toastmasters, we embarked on a journey — and what a journey it was.
Our theme was The Journey, and our Word of the Day was odyssey — a word that found its way beautifully into speech after speech throughout the evening.
Catherine inspired us all with the beginning of her own extraordinary odyssey: walking the length of New Zealand along Te Araroa — a 3,000 km trail stretching from Cape Reinga in the north to Bluff in the south. The audience was captivated and eager to hear more. 100% Pure New Zealand
Steve kept the journey going all night long as our Toastmaster, guiding us through every twist and turn of the evening.
And Ella gave us a word worth keeping: odyssey. She introduced it with a story about Warren Buffett — one of the world's most successful investors — who once said his biggest fear was public speaking. He counts his investment in developing that skill as one of the most valuable he ever made. You may not become a billionaire, but imagine what opening your voice to the world could do for you.
Where is your odyssey taking you? Maybe it starts right here.
👉 Visit us at Pokeno Toastmasters and take that first step.

This Thursday. Pokeno. 7pm.
If Toastmasters has been on your radar and you keep putting it off — Thursday 11 June is the one to finally show up.
