Saddle up for a great time at the Toastmasters Area 14 Conference. This year's theme is “Melbourne Cup” so don’t pack away your best hat or fascinator.

Whether you're a seasoned Toastmaster or a new spectator, everyone is welcome to gallop into this exciting event! Cheer on your favourite talented speakers from the Mackay region as they compete in the Evaluation, Humorous, International, and Table Topics speech contests.

Encourage your stablemates (age 18+) to join in too. We’ll be racing through fun and educational sessions, and the chance to win in our Pick-a-horse Raffle! Not to mention, a guest speaker to spur you on.

Come along in cocktail or business casual – attire perfect for mingling at the track – for the chance to win the prize for the best-dressed thoroughbred.

Tickets include a full day's entry, morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea, plus a little bag of goodies.  To reduce waste, please bring your reusable water bottle.

Begin gathering at the starting gate at 8:30 am, with the first race out of the gates at 9:00 am sharp.

Whether you're aiming for the winner’s circle or just along for the ride, this event will be a photo finish!"

The finish line for RSVPs is 3 November — Register now so you don’t get caught at the tail end!
