A MAN who cured his stammer following years of unsuccessful therapy will share his method with others at a free open day in Richmond next month.

Stephen Hill will describe his technique during a talk in the town on Saturday, October 11. The venue will depend on how many people want to attend. A five-day tuition course is also available.

"Approximately one in a hundred people has a stammer, usually men," said Mr Hill.

"It can literally ruin a person's life, stopping them from reaching their potential at work and restricting their social life, not to mention the ridicule which some stammerers suffer at the hands of unfeeling people.

"The fluency techniques I used are eminently transferable to others, and the many stammerers I have worked with on a one-to-one basis have left the course a different person."

Anyone interested in the session can contact Mr Hill on (0121) 476 2510, or write to 98 Farren Road, Northfield, Birmingham, B31 5HW.
