Speakers Clubs in Yorkshire & NE England - Tips, Confidence & Fun: - Practice in Public Speaking - Meeting Times

Frightened of speaking in public?

You are not alone. So are 80 percent of the British public.

Gain a "New You"  by joining a friendly supportive Speakers Club
    and gain confidence, encouragement and skilled feedback.

 The  Association of Speakers Clubs is divided into six regions. We are in the Eastern Region. The Eastern Region is divided into two Areas:

1. Yorkshire Dales Area   with three clubs:- (plus a fourth related club)

 Craven (at Skipton), Bradford (online by Zoom) and
Halifax-and-Huddersfield,  
(and  Keighley - NB this one is not registered as an ASC club, )

2. Yorkshire and North East with five clubs:-

Tyneside, Newcastle, York, Wetherby, Sheffield

Why you should Join a Speakers Club:


  • Tongue-tied and frightened to speak? 
  • Experienced, but want challenge and mental stimulation?
  • A wedding, a new job, or a school presentation demands a speech?
     We can help!
Our clubs are good value, good fun, and a great deal cheaper than attending a commercial speakers' course which could easily cost £800 or more. 

We offer what you need:
practice, motivation, feedback, encouragement, fun & practice, the chance to experiment
.. and did I say, practice?

Enquiries AND MORE FUN And Friendship!
If you wish, you are very welcome just to sit and listen. No need to speak
All clubs welcome new members.
For those who relish a challenge the clubs offer:-
... occasional interclub competitions
... the chance to help others in their journey
... the chance to analyse and experiment with one's own speeches.
