CRAVEN SPEAKERS CLUB - Skipton

Fun BBC Recording:- Even leaders of our political parties have training and guidance in giving speeches.. see the leaked memo (Oct 2010) advising Ed Miliband how to ask questions in Prime Minister's Question Time.

Speakers clubs are for ordinary people - like you.

1. Wedding Speeches
2. Reading the Psalms at church
3. Chairing a committee meeting
4. Raising a point at a meeting
5. Becoming less shy in ordinary conversations
6. Patter for introducing a song that you are going to sing/play.
7. Explaining to people why climate change or species extinctions are important.
8. Gain confidence generally

You may be shy and think "I am too shy to speak so I don't need to go to a speakers club" - but you would be mistaken - Speakers Club is for you - the other people there are very encouraging - you will lose your shyness.

You may think "I have done lots of public speaking, I am already very good" - not quite right - other members will be able to point out (politely) quirks that you had not noticed, as well as highlighting the good points.

If you are a young person -JOIN now - the skills you learn will last a lifetime

If you are older - you can still improve your skills to help other people - and you'll have lots of fun at the meetings
