What we do on a typical meeting night

• We meet at 7:30 for a prompt 7:45pm start

• Club Business

• There are two or three prepared speeches (5-10 mins each) relating to the ASC Speakers Guide assignments*

• The speeches are then evaluated with helpful learning points

• Break for refreshments in the bar

• Topics Session; 2-minute impromptu speeches

• Topics evaluation with hints for improvement

• General evaluation of the evening (Didn't we do well!)

No one is under any pressure to join in until they feel ready, and we welcome a non-participating audience.
