What's the difference?

A taster night is a shorter way in. A meeting is the real thing.

A taster night is a one-hour introduction, usually somewhere central, built for people who'd like to look before they leap. They're lovely, but they're occasional.

A regular meeting runs two hours and is what the club actually does week to week — prepared speeches, some impromptu speaking for those who want it, and friendly feedback. Coming to one as a guest tells you far more than a taster night can, and you can come more than once before deciding anything.

Either way, the promise is the same.

You will not be asked to speak. Guests are never required to say a word. If you'd like to try a one-minute impromptu question you'll be warmly welcomed, but “I'll just watch tonight” is completely normal — it's what most of us did first.
