About Phoenix Speakers

We are a friendly, relaxed, sociable club where members practice public speaking in a supportive environment and develop their wider communication and leadership skills. Club members enjoy the club’s youthful energy and learn from fellow members’ excellent speaking skills.

The club was established in 2011 with the ethos of learning while having fun – you learn more when you’re laughing and enjoying yourself. We still hold this principle close to our heart and over the years the club has built a strong sense of community, camaraderie and excellent speakers.

There is no point practicing public speaking unless you have a supportive audience so please come and visit us. If nothing else you’ll have a good evening and you may discover public speaking isn’t as scary as you think.

Non Member Guests

Civil servants with a Common Access Pass or staff of public bodies working with DfT are welcome to attend. Known colleagues and friends of existing DfT staff can attend if signed in by that DfT member of staff and escorted at all times by that DfT member of staff.

Assemble in the reception at the Department for Transport, Great Minster House, 33 Horseferry Road, London, SW1P 4DR (see map). Please be there at 18:15 for an 18:30 start.

Here’s what some of our guests told us about their visits:   ‘The evening was so warm, vibrant and humorous. The excellent speeches by all who came on stage, the relaxed but professional atmosphere meant I had a great evening and you have a very good club.’ Peter, a guest from another Toastmasters club. ‘Much more professional and entertaining than I expected’ Nikki, guest.
