Speakeasy Toastmasters Mallow

Notes for 22nd January, 2004

Following five very entertaining speeches on the evening of Thursday 8th January, Kay Quirke, as Topicsmaster, provided us with a series of very interesting topics which received some very interesting responses! The topics included - snoring, new year’s resolutions, how to revive a drooping spirit, murder mystery weekends, sex changes, the sales, first class travel, parenthood, baking – which somehow led back to bachelorhood. As always the Topics session got a lot of people on their feet, talking ‘off the cuff’, providing a very enjoyable second half to the meeting.

At our next meeting (Thursday, 22nd Jan) we are particularly pleased to be welcoming a very important Toastmaster to Mallow. Mr Ted Corcoran is the current International President of Toastmasters, which means he is the head of the worldwide organisation. Mr Corcoran lives in Dublin where he works for Irish Railways as the manager of Safety and is a member of the Fingal Toastmasters club. He has been a very active and successful member of Toastmasters as well as having contributed much of his energy towards other organisations such as Rotary and the Institute of Transport & Logistics and Irish Marketing Institute. We are very much looking forward to meeting him.

Please join us at our next meeting on Thursday, 22nd January. We would be delighted if as many of you as possible came along to welcome our very special guest, Mr Ted Corcoran. The meeting will start at 8:00 pm and we ask everyone to be at The Hibernian Hotel (Chapel Lane) at 7:50 pm.
