FABULOUS WOMEN entertained an audience at Walton Hall, Walton on Thames, in June with readings from their recently published book “FABULOUS”. The event was a great success with tea, cake, lovely company, marvelous stories and lots of sunshine.
Reading from the Fabulous Book
Four members of our steering group recently participated in a taster workshop for our planned “Speak Out” workshops (confidence in speaking within a group) run by David Owen. It was an excellent opportunity to slowly build confidence in that dreaded area of public speaking. Well done to everyone who managed to overcome their nerves and participate.
A wonderful opportunity to be entertained by FABULOUS WOMEN with readings form the recently published book, “FABULOUS”, on Saturday 13th June 2009, 2pm to 5pm at Walton Hall, Main Street, Walton on Trent, Swadlincote, DE12 8LZ. This is a free event with refreshments available.
