virtual open house event
Tickets available for the first-ever
Wanstead Beer Festival
Residents looking to enhance their
communication skills or conquer their fear
of public speaking are invited to join the
Woodford Green Speakers’ virtual open house
event on 26 September. “We recognise the
profound impact public speaking skills can
have on personal growth and professional
success, so join us for an enlightening session
and gain confidence,” said a spokesperson for
the club, which is affiliated with Toastmasters
International. The free online event runs from
7pm to 9pm. Visit swvg.co.uk/speak
Tickets are available for the first Wanstead
Beer Festival, taking place in the halls of Christ
Church on 14 October. “The festival will include
a number of real ales from the local area and
beyond. There will also be craft ales, lagers
and cider, and some carefully chosen wine and
prosecco for non-beer drinkers,” said organiser
Paul Donovan. Proceeds from the event –
which runs from 1pm to 10.30pm – will be
donated to local charities. The £12 ticket price
(£10 in advance) includes a commemorative
pint glass. Visit swvg.co.uk/beer
