The Society was set up to bring to The Caledonian Club influential speakers from a wide and diverse group of disciplines including academia, arts & culture, finance & commerce, diplomacy, media, armed forces and politics.

A prominent speaker is invited to address the Society on a theme of their choosing on the first Tuesday of each month, except August. Past speakers have included prominent politicians, sporting personalities, business leaders and ambassadors.

Members can meet the speakers at an informal pre-lunch reception, followed by lunch, presentation and a Q & A session. Adhering to the Chatham House Rule, Number 9 events provide a unique insight into topics of the day and are renowned for their  informative but relaxed atmosphere.

Chair:  Stuart Thom.
