BOTANY TOASTMASTERS, is a warm and welcoming Toastmasters club.

Our club meets in person at COVID 19 Alert Level One. If we decide to meet online due to alert level changes, we will let you know via this website. 

We make public speaking easy. The Toastmaster programme is designed to improve your speaking skills and at the same time improve your confidence. Many Toastmasters can attest to the benefits they have experienced from the Toastmaster programme, both on a personal and professional level. 

We will work with you to help you achieve your speaking and leadership goals no matter what they are.

Botany Toastmasters has been awarded the Presidents Distinguished Club award 11 years in a row. We have also just achieved in December of 2020 enough DCP points to qualify for a 12th DCP in 2020-21. This is a notable achievement as not many clubs can boast receiving this top award for 12 consecutive years.

If you are looking for a home to develop professionally as a speaker and as a leader, then come and visit us, we would love to meet you.

We meet in one of the upstairs rooms @ Eastview Baptist Church, 559 Chapel Road, East Tamaki Heights, Auckland
