The Catalyst Club is a unique monthly Brighton event that pays tribute to the old traditions of French Salon, debating societies and Gentleman's Clubs.

On the night three guest speakers take to the lectern to talk for fifteen minutes on a subject close to their heart.

Some of these previous lecture titles will give you a flavour of the evening:

Bees - Emergence Theory - Hitler's Moustache - Victorian Lantern Shows - Cunnillingus - The Exciting World of Slime Mould - Giant Squid - The Dawn of Civilisation.

Hells Bells for April 9th

After much debate and encouragement from Catalyst regulars, I have decided to introduce a bell system to help keep the talks short and sweet. After 13 minutes a bell will ring to remind the speaker their time is nearly up. The bell will ring again two minutes later. If they continue after the second bell I will then be forced to release the tiger.

Your thoughts on this would be appreciated; in the meantime I’ll be giving it a trial run for the next Catalyst Club on April 9th, featuring Toby Amies, Brian Mitchell and Katie Schutte!
