On May 21, 2016 TED talks will be coming from Pitsmoor. To the surprise of many in Sheffield the TEDTalks organisation has granted a local Pitsmoor group a license to hold a TEDTalks event, an evening of inspirational 10 minute talks, We would like to make this event as special and as entertaining as possible.

TEDTalks have of course been going for decades. Some Ted events last a whole weekend, our event will last about as long as a trip to the cinema, though with the price of Cinema tickets being what they are, our free entrance price is hard to beat. We have a wide range of talks, so we're keeping them short. Ten minutes maximum.

As well as talks, we will be showcasing a number of local entertainers, as a bit of variety is always helpful. There will be intermissions, providing the opportunity for tea, cake and the chance to meet and praise, or argue with, the speakers.

 Talks range from the global down to the very local, but all are enthralling. We are very proud of my speakers, most of whom are new to public speaking, and all of whom have an interesting perspective on Pitsmoor and the world. These aren't people peddling politics, selling products, or looking to put something new on their CV, these are people with something to say, taking advantage of the forum we are providing.

So get down to Christchurch on Saturday night on the 21 of May. Doors open at 7 o'clock and the show will start promptly at 7:30. And if you are nervous of coming to Pitsmoor, well stop being daft and get down here anyway. Want to pre book a ticket......we don't have any, just turn up. The venue is huge, we'll have space for you.
