Members love the friendly atmosphere at Boaters Toastmasters. Attend free hybrid meetings every Friday to build speaking and leadership abilities in Christchurc

Boaters Toastmasters offers a welcoming space to build public speaking and leadership skills through structured weekly training sessions. Guests can attend for free and take part in 90-minute meetings held every Friday morning, except during public holidays and the summer break. The club, established in 1998, is part of Toastmasters International and remains non-political and non-religious. Meetings run in a hybrid format, allowing participation either in person or online.
This activity suits adults aged 18 and over who want to develop confidence in speaking, improve communication, or grow leadership abilities. All are welcome, with no prior experience required. The focus stays on practical skill-building in a supportive environment that encourages community connection.
Participants benefit from regular practice and feedback while connecting with others in the Canterbury community.
Meetings take place at the Imagitech Theatre in the Rakaia Building at Ara, located in Christchurch Central City. The central position makes it straightforward to reach by public transport or car, supporting both local residents and those travelling from surrounding areas.
