A Professional Toastmaster is so much more than the distinguished red coat, but there are so many people who have never come across one and who don't know what we do. Did you know there is always a red coated Toastmaster at a Royal Wedding? You'll never see them of course as only official photos are published. My talk seeks to introduce you to the world of the Professional Toastmaster, how we came into being, the origins of 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 45-60mins 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!
