The skill of the Toastmaster is being
able to ensure the function runs smoothly, to time and is enjoyable for all
present. The Toastmaster is employed at a function to assist the organiser with
knowledge on etiquette and procedure, not to take over the organisation of the
day.
The London Guild of Toastmasters is an association of Professional
Toastmasters and Masters of Ceremonies who officiate at many functions where
correct etiquette is required e.g. Royal, Civic, Livery, weddings etc. They
have all undertaken a recognised training course and practised their skills for
at least two years before being invited to membership of The London Guild of
Toastmasters.
The Guild exists to maintain the high standards set by the founders in 1960,
to provide continual improvements in their skills and to maintain the etiquette
of Society.
Whilst the Guild is based in London the members' home base is widespread
and our members are from all parts of the country. The members of The London
Guild of Toastmasters, in the normal course of their work, travel the length
and breadth of the UK as well as Internationally.
A common saying amongst Toastmasters is "Have Gavel, Will
Travel" |
