all walks of life and aged between 18 and 80 practice speaking
in public. Join us for a cup of tea and a biscuit and hear
about the benefits of becoming a member – the fun and laughter
that’s a part of every meeting, the self esteem you gain when
you take that first faltering step behind the podium, the high
when you voice an opinion from the floor and the affirmation
that you receive from everyone present. You must be a member
before you speak at a meeting so feel free to come along, sit
back and relax in the knowledge that you are there to enjoy
yourself. Everyone is welcome, for further information contact
