Youth Speaks National Final comes to Exmouth

2018 is an important year for our Rotary Club and David Matthews and the Youth Speaks Team are already hard at work planning for the three Youth Speaks Events taking place in Exmouth during the first half of 2018.

The Club is privileged in 2018 to be hosting the National final of Youth Speaks.    The timetable will be as follows:-

• Local Heat : (J/I/S) Wednesday 7th February 2018 (Telfer Hall)
• Area Final: (I/S) Wednesday 21st February 2018 (Telfer Hall)
• National Final: Saturday 12th May 2018 (Main Hall)

New College Principal Andrew Davis has kindly agreed that we can use the college facilities to stage the three Youth Speaks events commencing with the Local Heat.

The Rotary National Final of Youth Speaks will not only be important for our Club and the Exmouth Community College but will also put Exmouth on the map across the whole of the UK.
