Four Carlton Trail Toastmasters are off to the Area 2 competition on Thursday.

Amanda Perrot, Audrey Tumback, Michelle Piatt and Matt Hillier won top honours in speaking and evaluating at the group’s recent local contest.

Matt Hillier, who is also president of Carlton Trail Toastmasters Club, wishes all his group’s entrants good luck.

Perrot and Tumback will be in the speaking event, while Piatt and Hillier will be judged on their ability to evaluate speeches.

“Toastmasters is definitely a great way to take you out of your comfort zone and speak in front of a crowd and get judged on that. It definitely makes you stronger and brings out a better leader in you,” Hillier said.
