About us

A friendly club in north west Christchurch

Bishopdale Club members represent many different age ranges, cultural backgrounds and occupations. The thing that links us all is the desire to improve our speaking skills, gain confidence, learn new things, meet new people and have some fun doing it.
Our members come from all over Christchurch but particularly from the north west suburbs. We were formally established in April 1992 and have been one of the stronger clubs in Christchurch ever since.

Speeches can be on topics from the humorous to the serious and everything in between. You choose.

Guests are welcome at any meeting so come along and see how Bishopdale Toastmasters can help you.

The Toastmasters Organisation

Since 1924, Toastmasters International has been recognised as the leading organisation dedicated to communication and leadership skill development. Through its worldwide network of clubs, each week Toastmasters helps more than a quarter of a million men and women of every ethnicity, education level and occupation build their competence in communication so they can gain the confidence to lead others.

By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals, leaders emerge. They learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback – and accept it. They find their path to leadership.

Toastmasters International. Where Leaders are Made

We look forward to welcoming you
