The nature of our club

Easy-going, welcoming and friendly. A combination of formality and informality, as we deal with a business section at the start of each meeting, move on to a speaking program of set topics and impromptu talks, and conclude with a helpful assessment from our resident critic, and finally supper. We welcome a wide range of speaking styles, from PowerPoint presentations to off-the-cuff improvisations.
