Nie mam pewności, jak brzmią nazwy istniejących klubów.
Z tego, co widzę na
http://www.d70toastmasters.org.au/district-70/divisions/cent...
wnioskuję, że wystarcza Area + numer. Nie wiem, czy wyraz Leaders jest niezbędny.
Możliwe, że powinniście zapytać World Headquarters o wytyczne.

TOASTMASTERS SOPOT LEADERS

Sławek, thank you for quick reaction :)
The question is not about translation this time, but about language correctness in creating the name itself - TOASTMASTERS SOPOT LEADERS.
---
Is this name correct or should it be changed.
At this moment it appears to me that it would suggest that the club embraces people who are leaders of the city of Sopot and that the city is on the subject of the toastmasters,
-
but it could be also understood that it is just about the leaders of the sopot city and the word toastmasters is just a traditional addition (usually used in the names of the Toastmasters clubs).
-
The author of the name had an intention to express the idea that we are LEADERS in the field we are dealing with here (speaking and leadership) that we are from SOPOT and that we belong to TOASTMASTERS.
-
Does the name TOASTMASTERS SOPOT LEADERS convey this idea, or should the name be changed to convey this idea? (or should the idea be readjusted?)
