Public speaking & leadership · Rhodes, NSW · Since 1991
Come as you are.
Leave a little braver.
Concord Yaralla Toastmasters is a small, warm club that meets three Monday evenings a month by the river at Rhodes. We practise speaking up, thinking on our feet, and backing each other — no matter how new or nervous you are.

Tonight's shape
Every meeting runs on the same warm rhythm
We time everything — the same way we time a speech: green for settling in, amber for the heart of the night, red as we wrap up. Here's the shape of a typical evening.
Arrive & settle in
Tea, chat, and a seat — no pressure to do anything but say hello.
Welcome & prepared speeches
Three members deliver speeches they've prepared, each one evaluated with care.
Tea break
A short breather before the second half begins.
Table Topics
Impromptu speaking — anyone in the room, guests included, can be called up (only if you want to).
Awards & wrap
Reports, a couple of fun awards, and we're done for the night.
"We all started as guests. If you're nervous about speaking up, you're exactly who this club is for." Concord Yaralla Toastmasters
Who's in the room
Real people, real reasons
Our members come from marketing, real estate, education, and public service — plus students, retirees, and a few people simply polishing a wedding speech. Some are practising English as a second language. Some just want better meetings at work. Everyone started exactly where you are now.
