 About Lion City Toastmasters Club

In the mid seventies, a group of graduates from the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) came together to set up the Toastmasters Club strictly for its graduates. The Club received its charter in February 1977. 

The Club was then known as AMASIM Toastmasters Club which stands for Advanced Management Alumni of SIM.  Due to the lack of logistical support from SIM, it became autonomous and opened its membership to the public in 1980. The Club's name was subsequently changed to Lion City Toastmasters Club that year.

Due to rising costs of meeting venues, the Club has changed its meeting location several times: from Mandarin Hotel to Weiqi Association and then to The Pines.  In September 2008, the Club found a new and hip home at the Geek Terminal, located at 55 Market Street #01-01.  As at 2011, the meeting location is at IFPAS Building, 7 Hongkong Street which is ideal for working executives. As of March 2012, IFPAS building was sold and hence we are now meeting at ParkMall, Level 13 Jubilence Room (Unit 13-02), which is near Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station and prove to be an even more convenient location.

The Club has been active in promoting public speaking in Singapore.  It sponsored SIM Toastmasters Club in 1984, NCOC 1 Toastmasters in 1993 which was later renamed Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club, and the New Millenium Toastmasters Club in 1998.

On 1 July 1999, our Club members Soh Swee Kiat, ATMS, and Augustine Lee, DTM, sponsored CPA Australia Toastmasters Club.  The new Club was mentored by S Ganesamoorthy, CTM and Lua Choon Huat, CTM.

On 1 January 2000, our Club members Ng Seng Chuan, then ATM-S, and Chee Lay Hong, CTM, sponsored the STB Toastmasters Club, an in-house club of the Singapore Tourism Board.  The Club was mentored by Mae Tan, CTM, and Donald Tan, CTM.

Our members have served in various capacities in the District as a District Governor, District Public Relations Officer and Area Governors.  The senior members are also in demand as evaluators in other Toastmasters Clubs here.

Lion City Toastmasters Club has and always will be one of the leading Toastmasters Clubs in Singapore.
