Public Speaking Day
15/02/2012
One of the world’s leading renewable energy developers, RES, will sponsor the Wales YFC Public Speaking Day for the second consecutive year. The event will be held on Saturday the 31st of March at the Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells.
During the day over 500 members, aged between 10 and 26 from all over Wales will attend the day to show off their public speaking skills in both English and Welsh. The public speaking competitions are a part of the Wales YFC social education programmes which aims to provide skills, recreational opportunities and confidence to YFC members in a wide range of areas.
Richard Evans, RES Senior Project Manager stated;
“RES has a long-standing relationship with the Welsh YFC and we were only too happy to sponsor this event. Public speaking is a difficult, but important skill to master, as it can help to build young people’s confidence and develop leadership skills.
Wind power provides significant support to rural and farming communities throughout Wales, bringing in rent for landowners and regenerating rural communities through community funds and opportunities for contractors. RES is very keen to invest in the future of rural Wales and we wish all the competitors the best of luck for the competition.”
Dylan Jones, Wales YFC Chairman added,
“Wales YFC are very grateful to RES for their support of this event. Public Speaking is a talent that cannot be taught. It is something which has to be nurtured over a number of years. Wales YFC produces some of the best speakers in the country, and that without the encouragement of clubs, club leaders and fellow members, many simply wouldn’t get the opportunity to feel the buzz of competing in such an event.”
