Madhatters is Nelson's only breakfast Toastmasters club. We are part of Toastmasters International, which has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience. Our learn-by-doing program will help you become a better speaker and leader. Why pay thousands of dollars for a seminar when you can join Madhatters Toastmasters club for a fraction of the cost and have fun in the process?

Madhatters Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.

Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
