Hey,

I was thinking of checking out Toastmasters at London Business School today but ended up checking out another London club.

How many members are there? Are there lots of students?

Half of people are students, other half are non-students. I am not a student myself, although I am applying for the MBA program starting Sept 2007. The LBS Toastmasters is a small group (average of 15 people attend) and meetings last about one hour. People are really open-minded, there is a wide variety of nationalities. If you come next Tuesday, I'll be doing the table topics.

Which club did you go to? Did you like it?

Hiya,

I have been to Holborn Speakers and Athenians so far and I enjoyed both of them

As a guest, I have done table topics twice and always enjoyed them.

Meeting only lasts an hour? Oh wow! The ones I have been to last 2 hours and a half.

Good luck in applying for MBA programs!

I once went to the one in Hammersmith, it lasted nearly 3 hours though and so I haven't been back but I may check it out again one day soon.

That's the one I went yesterday and I'm thinking of joining it!

I love the atmosphere and it's a lot of fun

Ann,

When you go there how long do the meetings normally last? The last time I went it went on for 3 hours. I had great fun but it was just a tad bit too long.

Hi,

It starts at 7:15pm and ends at 9:45pm.

Usually, Toastmasters meetings last 2 hours and a half if there are lots of members.

If you want to attend short Toastmasters meetings, perhaps you can check out Toastmasters at London Business School.

Dalante mentioned it lasts an hour.

Yep, London Business School Toastmasters meetings start at 7:15 pm and usually end an hour later.

It's located by Baker Street (probably the most convenient tube station in London!!)
