If you are on holiday and want cheap or free entertainment and convivial company, go to a Toastmasters International speakers' meeting. You will find them all over the world, most nights of the week and weekends. A few business or in-house clubs meet before work or lunchtime. Go to the Toastmasters International website and type in Find a club. In London you could visit Harrovians on a Monday or HOD on a Thursday. Try to email or phone in advance to be sure the club will be meeting on the date specified and the same time and venue. Occasionally a meeting is moved because it's a national holiday or Xmas, summer or Xmas. There could be a party. Sometimes a charge if caterers are brought in. If you are already a member and want to practise a speech, sometimes a smaller club offers the biggest welcome and a speaking slot. A smaller club may also offer a speaking slot to a mon-member to fill up the programme. This summer (2013) Harrovians in London has speaking slots.
