On the 11th of April 2002 my journey as Timothy lee Toastmaster formally started having qualified with the UK School of Professional Toastmasters. Since then, I have officiated at numerous events including Weddings, Civic Functions, Fund Raising events, Masonic Ladies Festivals and Charity Dinners

As a founder member of The Association of the UK School of Professional Toastmasters in 2004, I have held a number of offices including Treasurer, Junior Vice President, Senior Vice President and from February 2022 President.

The effects of COVID have seen the number of Toastmasters decline due to age, ill health and lack of business over the lockdown period. It was therefore one of my stated aims when accepting the President of the Association, to work to see our numbers grow again.

It was therefore with great pride that the Association was able to hold a training course in October 2022 and I was able to present certificates of qualification to two successful candidates and now new members of the Association
