Although this event is hosted by NUS Alumni Toastmasters Club, it is open to everyone. You do not need to be an NUS student or alumnus to attend. We warmly welcome guests from all backgrounds. 🎉 Special Club Anniversary Edition This month's meeting is a little different as we celebrate our club anniversary!

Many first-time guests wonder whether they'll be asked to give a speech. The answer is no. You're completely welcome to just come, listen, observe, socialise and enjoy the evening. Many guests attend their first meeting simply to experience what Toastmasters is like before deciding whether they'd like to participate in future meetings. If you'd like to speak, fantastic. If not, that's perfectly okay too. More than just public speaking While communication is at the heart of Toastmasters, many members also enjoy the friendships and conversations that happen around the formal meeting. For this anniversary edition, we'll have even more time to: • Meet people from different professions and backgrounds • Enjoy relaxed one-to-one and small-group conversations • Exchange ideas and experiences • Make new friends in a welcoming environment • Enjoy food and refreshments together • Catch up and socialise beyond the formal meeting programme There's no need to know anyone beforehand — we'll make sure you feel included. 💵 Guest Fee Guest fee: S$10 per person, payable at the meeting. This helps cover venue and club operating costs, including the food and refreshments provided for this anniversary edition. What to expect 🎙 Impromptu Speaking Watch, or join in if you feel like it — fun speaking challenges that help people think on their feet. 🗣 Prepared Speeches Listen to engaging speeches covering a wide range of topics, from personal stories to thought-provoking ideas. 💬 Supportive Feedback See how speakers improve through constructive, encouraging evaluations in a safe and friendly environment. 🤝 Friendly Community Meet professionals, entrepreneurs, students, alumni, and lifelong learners who enjoy personal growth and meaningful conversations. 🎉 Anniversary Social Time More time than usual to mingle, chat, celebrate and get to know one another in a relaxed setting. 🍴 Food & Refreshments Enjoy food and refreshments as part of our anniversary celebration.
