Club History
In the mid-sixties, one man had the burning desire ‘to help (Barbadian) men acquire the ability to speak in public” and so Alfred Defreitas of Painter’s Corner, Roebuck Street, Bridgetown, Barbados founded the Bridgetown Toastmaster Club.

The charter of the club was issued on July 06, 1965 and ever since then club #U2660 has remained active, serving the needs of many Barbadians in communication and leadership training.

Like most organizations, the Bridgetown toastmasters Club was not without its teething problems, chief of which was a place to hold meetings. The Club started holding its meetings at Caribbee Hotel and from time to time it met at other locations such as the Hilton Hotel and Dioscesan House. It finally settled at the Caribbee Hotel until 1996, when it moved to its present location, The Springer Memorial School. get more info on our history.
