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.

But join 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. West Yorkshire (formerly referred to as the Dales Area) with four clubs:-

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

2. Yorkshire and North East with four clubs:-

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.
