THE phrase "unaccustomed as I am" could be a thing of the past for Bury Business Club members.

For at the latest monthly meeting, to be held in the Market Street offices of the Bury Times, the main guest will be public speaking consultant Pat McKenna.

She will outline how businessmen and women can overcome their nerves and give an excellent presentation themselves.

The meeting, to be held next Thursday (Aug 30) between 6-8pm, will also include a "spotlight on members" session and a member speaker slot.
