Hi! I’m John Park

Because my wife had been a member of Tecorian Speakers for many years, I decided to join the Hornby Club twelve years ago.

The skills I am learning from being a member of Tecorian Speakers are proving invaluable when I address meetings of local clubs and interest groups.

Hi! I’m Rosemary Walkington

I have enjoyed being a member of Hornby Tecorian Speakers for many years. I am now the secretary of our club.

I joined Tecorian Speakers as a new mother and the early skills I learned gave me the confidence to become president of the local Plunket Society. Since then I have been involved with a variety of organisations, with many opportunities for public speaking.

Our regular meetings are always interesting and varied; they include meeting procedure, speeches, workshops, impromptus and games. We learn from each other through listening and participating and there is always much fun and laughter.

Hi! I’m Julie Dunsmuire

Julie and her two sons, who are currently getting speech lessons from a Tecorian Speaker.

I joined Tecorian Speakers in 1999 because my new position at work involved being on a production team where priorities were discussed daily at a meeting with staff and managers.

Tecorian Speakers helped me because I needed to be able to think on my feet and be firm when putting my requests across.
