What we’re about
Join us to find your voice and overcome any fear you have of presenting and public speaking!
You'll grow your speaking skills and your confidence, among friendly like-minded people ...and it all happens in a room above a cosy pub :-)
We meet twice a month, in the upstairs event room at the Exmouth Arms in Cheltenham.
Our club nights start with a game to get people talking, and then we move to 'table topics': your challenge - if you take it - is to try talking off-the-cuff for around a minute. Yes, we teach you to make stuff up on the spot - it's a skill that soon grows and helps you as a speaker.
This is just one example of the many ways our meetings are full of fun and learning.
We create a very supportive space, in which you can learn to communicate your thoughts and ideas through your voice, gestures and body language.
You'll find that having a live audience (and a friendly audience that wants you to succeed) really adds an 'edge' to your experience of speaking.
You will receive a kind and helpful evaluation of any speaking you contribute, so you can build your ability with every meeting. And in time you will be invited to evaluate others.
This skill adds a whole new dimension to your growth as a speaker, as you become more aware of the different aspect that can help make a speech really 'land' with your listeners.
People join us for all sorts of reasons ...for work, of course; for a special event they are preparing for; or just to enjoy finding a confident 'voice' in themselves, perhaps for the first time ever.
You will find yourself learning through watching and hearing people of different skill levels, from different backgrounds, and of all ages.
To get invited to our next meeting, simply join this group and one of us will text chat with you via Meet-up.
We will then send you (via Meet-up) a link to our next meeting.
You can come along once as a guest and, if you enjoy the experience, you can then become a member (£60 every 6 months, plus a one-off joining fee of £20) and enjoy coming to our two club nights each month.
When you come as a guest, we will collect your email to send you our Membership Form.
How does that sound?
We love welcoming new guests and we hope to hear from you soon!
