In this day and age where text messaging, social networking and one-line emails seem to have taken precedence we could be forgiven for thinking that the art of speaking to communicate our intentions was no longer important. Not so! Research shows that verbal and face-to-face is still the best way to communicate, given the sensory attachment that we form with others through verbal expression.
Denny Speakers Club provides a welcoming environment for those wishing to improve their speaking skills, with the ability to work within a curriculum affiliated to the National Association of Speakers Clubs. We hold a meeting once a fortnight where members can deliver prepared and impromptu speeches and readings, participate in debates and receive education. There is also the option to learn other transferable skills such as chairing meetings, interviewing and treasury keeping.
The ASC prides itself on its diverse membership which ranges from the young to the mature and from the complete novice and nervous speaker to the very experienced. We believe that everyone has an important contribution to make, whether you’re a CEO, a stay at home parent or a student and it’s this diversity that makes Speakers Club life such a rich experience.
