About Club 9
Established in 1958, ROSTRUM CLUB 9 has been helping people to develop skills in communication, leadership, and to grow in confidence.
Club 9 is a lively, happy and interesting group of people of all ages and backgrounds who come together weekly to entertain and inform each other whilst practising the art of public speaking. We are a mix of novice and experienced speakers who enjoy the company of visitors and new members.
The formula is simple: LEARN – PRACTICE – ENJOY.
What can you expect from Rostrum?
- Structured training which can be adapted to a member’s needs.
- Help and advice from an accredited Coach.
- The opportunity to learn administrative practices of a small organisation.
- Being challenged, and encouraged to expand your comfort zone to accept that challenge.
- Expanding your horizons with new topics and people.
- In a world where news and “facts” are so often the concoction of media advisers, influencers, vested interests, and the dark world of social media, Rostrum encourages you to “think truly and speak clearly” FIND YOUR VOICE.
