About Toastmaster Bob

Having completed my formal education I followed in my father's footsteps and trained as a baker and confectioner. In 1986 I left the bakery trade and joined Royal Mail. During the next 23 years I became experienced in a variety of roles with the company. I took early retirement from the company in 2009.

In the early 1970's I helped to organise many different events in my spare time. These included weddings, anniversary & birthday celebrations, musicals, amateur theatre and social events. As a singer / guitarist I also took part in a number of church based events.

I decided to put my experience in leading events on a firm professional footing and attended a training course with the UK School of Professional Toastmasters. In April 2008, having completed my training in all aspects of a toastmaster's role, I successfully graduated from the school. Since then I have officiated at many events including weddings, charity balls, and award dinners. I have also been appointed Deputy Town Crier for the City of Norwich.
