During October 2009 hundreds of events are taking place across England as part of the Government sponsored Learning Revolution. The idea is to give learning opportunities that everyone can get involved with. Toastmasters are contributing to this by running a number of taster sessions for people who have never done any public speaking - and would not usually have access to this kind of training - to have a go.
Our event are happening very soon so we need your help!
How can you contribute? Most importantly we need you to find participants for these Free taster events. Contacts,friends, colleagues of your who are nervous about public speaking and would not normally think of going to a Toastmasters meeting. The aim is to find, encourage and inspire people who need a public speaking L-plate to have a go - to experience active, informal learning. Places on the sessions can be booked on the Speakersbank website. Click here for the booking page.
So...have a think, look at your address book...ask around at work...and find people to click through and book a FREE place.
Toastmasters are also holding taster events in Bedford, Cambridge, Lincoln, Manchester, Plymouth, Woodford Green. You may know people who could go to these ones too. Please spread the word. Info on all the events is on http://www.speakersbank.co.uk/right2speak and you can also find out more from David Thompson on 077 2029 8381 and at david@speakerstrust.org
