A Backwards Toastmasters Meeting?? ~ Eriez Toastmasters Club

Really? What's a Backwards Toastmasters Meeting?? Come to Eriez Toastmasters Club and find out. We have FUN!

Eriez Toastmasters Toastmasters focuses on communication and leadership skills and we like to have fun while we learn. Periodically we mix it up a bit by running a backwards meeting. At the last meeting I was awaken with a jolt because I thought it was 6:15 am. Not only was my schedule backwards but the agenda was printed backwards. (see below)

Eriez Toastmasters Club meets 2nd & 4th Monday 6:15-7:45 pm at Millcreek Mall Library

Evelyn, we do have fun! A backward meeting is run backwards with closing first and the opening last. It is meant to mix it up rather than same old rountine.

Mary, backwards or not, toastmaster groups are certainly fun and add much. It's great that your group go out of the norm and mix it up with some fun.

Backwards/forward, who cares as long as you're having fun doing it. I may just have to look into TM.

Mary, this does sound very different, and I think reading the schedule backwards may be a tough one!
