North Avon Speakers is a fun, friendly public speaking club. We meet every first, third and fifth Thursday of the month. Meetings start at 7:15pm and finish by 9:30pm.

Currently via online Zoom meetings The ideal chance to practice the art of public speaking virtually, in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Contact us as northavontm@gmail.com to express your interest in attending and to receive the zoom link in advance.

This is a regular club meeting with prepared speeches, speech evaluations and "table topics" - a chance to practice impromptu speaking.
