If your club has under 15 members, 3 speeches a meeting is what you should be aiming for, plus 6-8 Table Topics.

If your club has 16 members or above, 4 speeches per meeting plus 8 Table Topics is the required amount to ensure that plenty of opportunity is available for all members.

One of the best ways to maintain energy throughout the meeting is to ensure that the second half of the meeting is not just one evaluation after another. The concept of “two meetings in a meeting” has been a huge revitalisation boost for many clubs. This means the first half of the meeting has 2 speeches, 4 Table Topics, and 2 evaluations. After the break, there is another 2 speeches, 4 Table Topics and 2 evaluations. This evenly distributes the energy-bringing segments throughout the agenda and means that people leave the meeting on a high.
