Southport Meols Rotary - Youth Speaks
Did you know March is Rotary Literacy Month but in Southport Meols we are focusing on the skill of Public Speaking. 

We have a FANTASTIC event lined up for you this month.............
"Southport Meols Youth Speaks"
Every year Southport High Schools, compete for the Southport Meols "Krishnan Cup" named after one of our late Club member's who believed young people must be given a platform to participate in the skill of public speaking.

In previous years there has been one speaker from each School but this Spring, in preparation for taking part in the National Rotary Youth Speaks competition from 2017/18, Schools will put forward teams of three, offering young people:
  • experience of speaking on a public platform as a member of a team
  • an incentive to formulate ideas on topical subjects
  • discipline in dealing with a topic in a limited time - each team has 10 minutes to speak
  • the opportunity of learning and practising high standards of expression, presentation and appearance 
  • impartial feedback of performance by experienced adjudicators'
This year's subject is: Brexit, what does it mean to today's youth.

If you would like to join us to support what promises to be an excellent evening showcasing the talented youngsters in our local Secondary Schools;

The event will take place at The Ramada, Southport on 21st March 2017
Arrival 6.00pm for a prompt start at 6.45pm.
After the presentations there will be a 2-course meal, while our panel of judges deliberate over the entries, followed by the announcement of the winning team and presentation of Cups and Prizes.

The cost of the Evening is £22 per person and, as numbers are limited, early reservation is essential.
