On the 1st of April 1985 at the Imperial Hotel, Blackpool, The Northern Guild of Toastmasters was formed The Guild has grown in stature since, and is now a highly respected organization of almost 40 members dedicated to the skills of their profession.
Full membership of The Guild is highly prized and The Guild constantly strives through training and seminars to improve and keep pace with the constant changes and requirements of the modern era whilst still maintaining traditions.
An important reception, a dinner or banquet, a wedding reception, a private or civic function, perhaps where Royalty are present: so many occasion's nowadays demand the correct approach.
That correct approach will include the introduction of your guests, and/or the announcements of speakers and events. What it needs, is someone who is trained to conduct the formalities of the occasion and who will do so with quiet authority, dignity and style, lifting the onus from the hands of the already busy host.Whatever the formal occasion and wherever it is to be, it will progress more smoothly with the help of the Toastmaster. You will find them the ideal person for your special occasion. He/she is a person of presence who can turn a 'good' event into a 'great' occasion, smoothly organised and superbly presented.
We are committed to quality service, equality of opportunity, irrespective of race, ethnicity, social, economic or political background.
Our Mission is to achieve and maintain such distinction in toastmaster services,  providing  atmosphere and authority such that the customer receives a first class service. Our members strive to receive new and repeat business year after year. We strive to provide a service for all occasions, races and disabilities, upholding the high standards of the profession.  The guild acts on our responsibilities as men and women of professionalism,  fairness and good character.
