Question 1

How much does membership cost?

Accepted Answer

Toastmasters International charges standard semi-annual membership dues (paid to the international organisation) plus a small local club fee to cover meeting materials. Total costs are modest — think closer to a gym membership than a professional course. Visiting as a guest is always free.

Question 2

What is your guest policy?

Accepted Answer

Guests are always welcome, at every meeting, at no cost. You can attend as many meetings as you like before deciding whether to join. You'll never be put on the spot — participation in Table Topics or speeches is entirely voluntary for guests.

Question 3

Is there a dress code?

Accepted Answer

No formal dress code. Most members come in smart-casual attire — what you'd wear to the office on a relaxed day. Come as you are; being comfortable matters more than dressing up.

Question 4

How often do you meet?

Accepted Answer

We meet bi-weekly on Thursdays from 17:00 to 19:00 at Sandnes Library. Check our Luma calendar on the home page for the exact dates of upcoming meetings.

Question 5

How do I join the club?

Accepted Answer

The best first step is to attend a couple of meetings as a guest to see if it feels right for you. When you're ready to join, speak to any committee member — they'll walk you through the short application and help you get started on your first learning path.
