I AM planning to organise an open day in the near future for people who suffer with a stammer. I am an ex-stammerer who has managed to overcome the problem by re-teaching myself to speak.

The open day would be held in the Blackpool area, but before booking a venue I need to assess the level of interest from sufferers.

I would appreciate it if anyone who would be interested in attending such a day could either drop me a line in writing or send me an e-mail, as I know people who suffer with a speech impediment might find it difficult to use the telephone.

My address is 49 Kingsley Road, Kings Norton, Birmingham, B30 1EH and my e-mail address is Steve.Hill9@btinternet.com.

Stephen Hill.
