Let's use the technology available. I and my family live north of Kal. at sunny Leinster. Once I finally sort out the many bugs I'm finding with my online world, count me in..but it probably doesn't help me with the thankyou speech I have to give this Saturday night. We've organized a charity Ball to support local ladies recovering from Breast cancer and are on track to raise close to $50 000. As part of the committee, I've been chosen to give a welcome and thankyou speech. I also wanted to touch on how such a unique and supporting place our town can be.We are mostly thrown together because we seek more from life and more for our family...I think I'll use this! Back to the point.I think I have the basics for writing speech but needed help with refinement and the delivery. Not sure if you can help keeping in mind our Ball is Saturday, if not I'll be very interested with any online club you look to set up. Regards Linc Goodwin 90370138 Yes!

No, there isn't one in Victoria yet. But surely there could be. You could contact our chief marketing Officer who is in Victoria - Carrol Jones - and suggest you would help her to set one up. carrol.jones@bigpond.com Hello Cat.

Toastmasters is about communication and the internet provides many forms of communication. Podcasting is the verbal form. I regularly 'listen' to the UK news on The Guardian and The Daily telegraph Podcasts. Websites can succeed or fail on the basis of the written content. Presentation is, naturally key. As Marshall McLuhan wrote back in the 60's the Medium is the Message. In this case the medium is an electronic forum, MessageBoards or e-mail discussion groups can succeed or fail by the strength of the Administrator of the list or forum. The potential for such a group is massive and please count me in! Fantastic idea!

Yes, my first thought was that you must be present and amongst it all, but I remember once years ago having to record a message to a tape, and how challenging I found that! .. so it will bring its own set of skills to play, as Billy G says, and certainly mindsets will have to change for some. But the rewards .. infinate for those physically and geographically challenged, and those tied up at home with children and or elderly relatives, and what about nursing homes n hospitals? .. it could also be an easier option to start with for those who feel so socially inept that they just cant physically come along? It could indeed be "their chance to get a life" as Jeff said ... Wonderful Wonderful .. social networking at its very best! .. bring it on! .. It can only be good.! Congratulations David and to all those involved... Liz Sheridan, Mandjar Speakers PS Any chance we could have a gander at some of the results from that team of uni students doing the research .. is that possible? ... Hi all,
