Toastmasters Speeches Archive

For many years during the early 2000’s, when I was most active in Toastmasters International, my personal writing activities were mainly confined to writing speeches. The format for these is quite constrained; they have to be delivered in 7 minutes or less. While most of my speeches, presented from notes, are now long-lost, a number of them have luckily been preserved. These are often contest speeches, prepared for either the annual International contest or the Humorous contest. In any case, there’s a fair archive here below. I hope you enjoy reading them.
