I am a former British Army Warrant Officer, now with my own part time business as a Professional Toastmaster, MC and Quizmaster for Weddings, Charity and Corporate events.

My talk is titled 'Professional Toastmaster, Past, Present and Future' and seeks to enlighten and inform its listeners about the world of the Toastmaster; its origins, the red coat; the role today and how we enhance a whole range of events. I conclude with a look at what the future holds and how we remain current in the ever evolving world of events and hospitality.

My talk lasts around 45-50mins and includes a voluntary chance to taste how wine might have done in the middle ages. This particular aspect has proved very popular with many groups over the last couple of years!

There is time for questions at the end.
