Sign Up For Roles
Members can RSVP, sign up for speeches and roles on EasySpeak. The agenda for each meeting is available on EasySpeak. This platform also allows members to send each other direct correspondence.
Backgrounds
Members can download these backgrounds, especially useful for the Timer role. You can edit these yourself for club meeting use. If you are dialling in on a device and cannot use backgrounds, we recommend finding a neutral area to sit to avoid distracting other members. Instead of backgrounds for timing you could hold up coloured paper, books or large items to ensure the speaker can clearly identify the timing cue.
Dial In
Guests and members can RSVP via our Events page.
For members, the virtual meeting link for our meetings is available via EasySpeak. We ask members to actively RSVP, sign up for roles and speeches via this meeting management platform to ensure meeting agendas are ready.
