Who we are:
Keen and helpful amateurs. Some have done this for many years, others are new and enthusiastic.
What we offer:
Three speeches of 6-8 minutes given by members of the club is the normal format. They can speak on anything they want.
Each speaker is given feedback by an evaluator showing what their strengths are and how they can improve.
After a short break the second half of the meeting is taken up with Topics. This is where the Topics Chair invites members and guests to speak for 2-3 minutes on something relating to a theme. You can take a topic where you like. You can defend an opinion or tell a personal story or both.
The evening finishes with the General Evaluator giving their assessment of the evening and its all gone.
