Varsity toastmasters is now more successful then ever. With an ever increasing member count, come and see what toastmasters can offer you in this thriving and cheerful environment.

Our Immediate past president Chad who now resides in Newcastle, Australia visited his old club on Wednesday. He was happy to see many new faces and was warmly welcomed by the current members. We were all treated to an entertaining speech my the maestro before mixing and mingling with both the new and old members of the club.

We wish him well in Australia and look forward to hearing more about his adventures at his new home club.

Once again Varsity Toastmasters has tasted success at the latest Area A1 speech contest. Our very own Pablo German represented us in the Table Topics and Humorous Speech contest and took out the tile of the Area A1 Table Topics champion for 2007.

We wish him the very best at the upcoming Division A contest

Varsity Toastmasters have once again taken out both titles at the recently concluded Area A1 contests. Our very own president Chad Wijeratne became the Area A1 International Speech Contest champion while Nandita Carvalho won the Evaluation contest.

This is the second consecutive occasion where our members have taken out both titles at the Area A1 contest. We wish them well at the Division A championships coming up on 21st April
