Arrive
Meet the Sergeant-at-Arms and members before the gavel. No awkward wandering around pretending to text.
Observe
Watch prepared speeches, impromptu speaking, evaluations and the mechanics of a formal meeting.
Participate — only if invited and comfortable
You are not required to give a prepared speech on your first visit. The point is to experience the club.
Connect
Ask questions after the meeting, meet members and decide whether you want to return.
Do I have to speak?
No prepared speech is expected from a guest. Depending on the meeting, you may be invited to participate in a short impromptu segment, but you can decline.
How long is the meeting?
Club 1600 meetings follow a structured agenda. Exact finishing time can vary by programme; the current agenda should be checked when you RSVP.
Are meetings in person?
Yes. Club 1600 meets in person at the Red Cross Society on John F. Kennedy Drive in Nassau.
Can I visit more than once?
Yes. Visiting more than once is the easiest way to understand the culture before deciding on membership.
