Worthing Speakers Club

Our meetings are friendly and fun! Every member knows the challenge of public speaking, and we are very supportive of each other. Meetings start at 7.30pm and are chaired by a member holding the role of ‘Toastmaster’. The first part of the evening is a warm up, an opportunity but not an obligation for members and guests to join in with 15 seconds of impromptu speaking each. This is followed by 3 or 4 project speeches, which are prepared by members. After the break at 8.30pm we start with evaluations of the prepared speeches. Evaluation is an important part of Toastmasters – helping us all to learn from the feedback of others. Evaluations are presented by experienced members highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. The speech evaluations are followed by a session of impromptu speaking called ‘Table Topics’, open to both members and guests. Table Topics are followed by further general evaluations of the evening’s programme. The meeting finishes at 9.30pm. Members are always happy to answer any questions you may have. Worthing Speakers offers up to two free meetings before a commitment to becoming a member is required.
