You do realise this thread is dated from 2006. I think it's well and truly dead.

You DO gain a bit of experience here and there when your fellow toastmasters give you small, temporary jobs (e.g. timekeeper, jokemaster, evaluator, etc.)

However, if you really want experience, then in your own interest what you really want is to be one of the speakers. One issue is, if you just sit back and wait passively, after your Icebreaker you don't get to be a speaker, as a new member. Assuming you chose your club well, at most meetings you want to ask for opportunities to do speeches, real speeches.

I hope this helps.
