I was in an English club but I was supposed to leave early. It was five minutes before I left when I looked at the time on my phone, I said to the participants "I can talk here for five more minutes". Is it natural to say this in this context?
 
I'd say: I have five more minutes to talk.
 
@Silverobama I have lost count of the number of times I've told you to say you were at [an] English club, not in one (in this context).
If you say "I was in an English club", it means "I used to be a member of an English club".

See above.

Sorry, I’ll write “at an English club” down many times as a punishment for me my negligence.

Typo fixed.
