What better way to enjoy a Tuesday afternoon in the summer holidays?
Would you like to acquire the skills and confidence to speak effectively in any situation?
Giving you these skills is the purpose of a course that will be run by a local organisation, Bletchley Speakers Club.
This is a five session course, led by experienced professional speakers in an informal and supportive environment, allowing you every chance to watch, learn, practice and grow.
The course is absolutely free, it is suitable for everyone who wants to improve their public speaking and will be of particular benefit to those with little or no experience of public speaking. Each session covers a separate aspect of public speaking, so it is not necessary to attend every session to benefit from the course.
The first session is on September 25th, with further sessions held on October 10th , October 24th, November 14th and November 28th.
Each session will start at 7.30 pm and run until 9.30pm
The course will be held in the charming location of Rectory Cottages. Rectory Cottages address is 49 Church Green Road, Bletchley, MK3 6BJ.
To reserve a place or to find out more, contact Tom Ferrett tomferrett@btinternet.com on 07814 417260
