Hi Jason, What type of clubs? Well, for a start, there are ladies' luncheon clubs. Probus (retired professional and business), other retirement clubs such as the Civil Service Retirement Fellowship, NHS Retired, NARPO (National Association of Retired Police Officers - nowhere near as daunting as they sound!), the social clubs for people with disabilities, such as Diabetic Associations and Macular Groups and clubs for former employees of large firms, such as BT and Siemens. There are numerous clubs for ex-members of the armed forces, such as RAF Associations, Wrens Association, the REME Association and, of course, British Legions. Then you have Rotary Clubs (plus their partners in the Inner Wheel), 41 Clubs (former members of Round Table) and other great fund-raisers, such as Lions and Moose International. And how about hobby-based clubs, such as wine circles? Or clubs for 'ex-pats' from other parts of the UK, such as Cornish or Caledonian Societies? (And with a surname like mine, I mustn't forget the Welsh!) Also, you have church fellowships plus Women's Institutes and Townswomen's Guilds, which I include in my broad category of clubs. These are just the tip of the iceberg. All book speakers on a variety of subjects, not just military for the British Legions or wine-making for the wine circles. You get 40-60 minutes of stage time and they pay you - and sometimes give you an excellent lunch or dinner as well! There are, of course, also specialist clubs where I do a tailored 'how-to', such as writers' circles, film-making clubs and business networking organisations (which may or may not pay but are still useful for experience, getting other work, etc). Libraries have local lists. But, Jason, as a fellow Groucho fan, would you really care to speak to any club which would have you as a speaker? :D Nick
