Membership Details and How to Join
Intrigued? Interested? Tempted? Why not come along and try us out!
As a visitor you will be made very welcome - come and see what we do - you might find that it's the thing for you.
We begin our season in September, but new members are welcome at any time! Do check our Calendar of Meetings.
How to Join
The best way is to come along and try us out. You are very welcome to come along and sit-in on a meeting night and see what we do. You can just observe, or you can join in - but you will not be pressurised to do so. Why not try us out for a meeting or two? You can decide then whether you wish to join. Anyone 16 or over can join our club.You can always contact us before you come: fill-in our Enquiry Form, e-mail us or telephone - see our Contact Page.
Membership Details
When you join ASC you become a member of a particular club, in our case Wolverhampton Speakers Club. The club is a member of the Association of Speakers Clubs which, of course, is a national organisation.How Much Does It Cost?
Clubs vary in what they charge for annual membership. Our current membership fee is £65 per year (£50 for bona fide students and unwaged), which covers our room hire and a fee (called the 'Capitation') to the ASC itself. We do not aim to make a profit.
Unlike many clubs we do not charge a meeting fee. One minor expense that you will incur once only is the purchase of the ASC Speakers Guide for £15 - very well worthwhile because the Speakers Guide (we call it 'The Manual') is the basis of your activities and it contains a lot of accumulated wisdom about Public Speaking.
