HOW DOES PARIS SPEECH MASTERS WORK?

Our meetings take place every other Monday and starts at 19:14 sharp.

(Online or Face to face  or Hybrid)

The meetings are typically structured as follows:

 

The President or the Toastmaster of the Evening gavels the meeting to order, greets the guests introduces the evening's program.

A "Toast of the Evening" is delivered.​

The Grammarian chooses a "word of the evening" challenging all speakers to use it during the meeting.​

The Toastmaster of the Evening introduces speakers to deliver their prepared speeches.

The Table Topics Master announces a theme and calls on willing volunteers to give short impromptu talks. ​

There is a break for dinner between the speeches and the evaluation session. This is a good time to get to know club members.

Evaluators provide feedback for each speech, followed by reports from stumble catcher, grammarian and timer.

The General Evaluator comments on the entire evening's meeting.

The Toastmaster of the Evening thanks the guests for any comments, reports on any events or club business and closes the meeting.
