About Our Meetings
Usually, we gather every Sunday
Start time - at 12 pm
Format - mostly in-person (cafe etc.), 1 per month online or hybrid.
Every meeting consists of three parts:
Prepared speeches (2-3 members deliver their projects, 5-7 min each)
Table Topic Speeches Session (impromptu speeches): Table Topic Master addresses a few questions to the audience; speakers are chosen randomly and are given 2 minutes to make an impromptu speech on a suggested topic. In the end, the audience will vote for the best speaker of the session.
Evaluation: all speakers receive feedback from more experienced club members.
Guests are always welcome!
You will listen to prepared speeches and come on stage during Table Topic impromptu speeches!
