This is our club competition event. Our members will compete in the International Speech Contest and Evaluation Contest
About this Event

Feel free to observe our club contest in International Speech and Evaluation. The programm is a little different from our regular meeting. Please come on time because our contestants should not be disturbed.


The next meeting in March will be our regular club meeting again with prepared speeches, speech evaluations and "Table Topics" - a chance to practice impromptu speaking. Please arrive from 6:35pm for a prompt 6:45pm start.


Guests are always welcome and it's completely free, but we do request that you buy drinks at the bar on arrival and during the break to support the venue.
