Sharing Our Stories
2000 at the Britons Protection Pub, 50 Great Bridgewater Street
Come and tell a story or just listen!
An evening event of storytelling hosted by storytellers David Heathfield and Andrew Wright. People from
around the world attending the IATEFL Conference and from the Manchester story club, ‘Word of Mouth’,
tell stories from their cultures and traditions and from their own lives and experiences. David and
Andrew offer a framework and encouragement for this to happen and contribute a few stories
themselves. This is a wonderful opportunity for visitors to Manchester to meet local people and to hear
their stories and for local Manchester people to hear stories from around the world.

Back for yet another year: bigger, better and this year very, very different. A multimedia extravaganza
under the new management of Victoria Boobyer & Gavin Dudeney... it's the IATEFL International Quiz.
You'll need a global team with diverse interests and knowledge, a sense of humour and a desire to meet
new people, have some fun, network and work together to score more points than any other team. Music,
fun... a drink or two and the chance to be crowned quiz champions of Manchester 2015.
