Lymington Lentune Townswomen's Guild
On March 10, I gave a talk for Lentune TG in Hampshire. They meet in the Phoenix Building, a small but light venue at the back of Lymington's Community Centre.
Some groups (like this one) put their guest speaker on before the business part of their meeting. Although this means there is no chance to tailor your material to something you have just heard in the announcements or reports, it does at least allow you to leave after the refreshments so you can spend some time in the town or village where the group is based!
Public Speaking Tip #298: The schedules of different branches of the same organisation may vary, for example, an afternoon talk might be at 14.00, 14.15, 14.30, 14.45, 15.00 or 15.15! Always study the details in the letter or email confirming the booking.
This is a small group (there were 17 ladies at the meeting) but My Life as a Freelance Comedy Writer got a good response from them.
My thanks to speaker hostess Vera for helping me set up.

"This is an unusual blog; the art of public speaking is crucial to politics and yet there's not much devoted to it specifically. This blog does, with posts combining accounts of the writer's recent engagements with some handy hints. Given some of the turgid speeches we're forced to suffer in the Commons, more MPs could do with reading it". politics.co.uk
"Nick spoke at our joint meeting with Kingston 41 Club. It was a brilliant evening. Nick is an engaging speaker, witty, topical and very interesting. He spoke for three quarters of an hour without notes, a most knowledgeable man. I cannot recommend Nick enough and can assure you that engaging him is a worthwhile endeavour. I wish you a great evening like ours". Manny Martins Vice Chairman of Hamble Valley Stick Club and 41 Club Regional Councillor, Region 24.
"Your speech to our 9 Rotary Clubs in North Surrey was much appreciated by me and I have received lots of feedback which was very positive about you. It was so refreshing to hear someone who has the wit to make us laugh throughout the evening without resort to 'blue' material and swearing. I do hope many others will get the chance to experience your talents". Howard Smith, Assistant Governor Area 1 Rotary District 1140.
