Port Hunter Toastmasters Club recently helped Newcastle University with delivery of a Public Speaking workshop as part of an Immersion Program for 25 high achieving students from Hangzhou Normal University.

The workshop covered key skills including, speech writing, impromptu speaking via Table Topics, speech structure, body language, vocal variety and audience engagement.

The workshop was a great success with very positive feedback from the students and the Universities.

Port Hunter Toastmasters Club runs Public Speaking Speechcraft courses and also practices these skills during our weekly Tuesday night meetings. Further details can be found on our website: https://porthuntertoastmasters.org/

🎉 Congratulations Damien Challen!

Yesterday at the Area 15 Contest, Damien delivered an absolutely sensational performance, walking away with THREE podium finishes:

🏆 1st Place – Table Topics Contest
🏆 1st Place – Humorous Speech Contest
🥈 3rd Place – Evaluation Contest

What an incredible achievement! Damien, your hard work, talent, and dedication are a true inspiration to everyone at Port Hunter Toastmasters. We could not be more proud of you!

Damien's outstanding results means he will now be representing Area 15 at the District 90 Toastmasters Eastern Division Contest

🌟 A Special Mention for Jo!

We also want to give a huge shoutout to Jo, who stepped up and competed in her very first Area Contest yesterday. Jo handled it with grace and performed exceptionally well in the International Speech Contest — and to make the moment even more special, her father was there in the audience watching her compete for the very first time. What a memorable occasion! Jo, you should be incredibly proud of yourself — we certainly are, and we have no doubt this is just the beginning of things to come.
