Past and present members of the Carlton Trail Toastmasters celebrated the group's 30th anniversary Tuesday night.

The club also honoured longtime member Jerry Angelstad for his dedication, leadership and passion, President Matt Hillier said in an email to Bolt FM.

"The club has made it through some rough times when in 1990 the club was down to two members and two dollars in the account. One of the members is still with us today. It's thanks to him we still have a club to go to today as he was one of the members that had chartered the club in 1987," Hillier said.

Amanda Perrot was named District 99 Toastmaster of the Year - one of the highest awards a member can receive, Hillier said.
