A BUSY TIME FOR SPEAKEASY TOASTMASTERS CLUB

Halloween has come and gone but Toastmasters go from Challenge to Challenge. Two big events coming up for us. We have the Autumn Conference in Nenagh Co Tipperary on l0lth to l2th Nov. This includes the final of the Humorous Speech Contest and The Table Topics. We are proud to say our club member Pat Sexton is representing our club at the Table Topics Contest and we will be there to wish him well. Good Luck Pat.

The meeting of November l6th at the Hibernian Hotel at 7.45 pm will be our SCHOOL PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST. Each contestant will speak for 5 – 7 minutes. This is a new venture in our Club and we are all very excited about it. We will have the three Mallow second level schools participating, and in all we will have nine speakers. We are presenting a really fabulous Perpetual Cup to the winning school and an individual best speaker plaque to the individual best speaker. Bring your friends and families to support you. We will greet you all with a cead mile Failte. It is our ambition to give the brilliant successes that can be achieved as members of a Toastmaster’s Club a local platform, and who better to introduce our club to, than the youth of our Town, who in this electronic age will need to be able to sell themselves in the work place. We hope this will be just an introduction to a long and fulfilling career.

Our Nov. 2nd meeting was well attended. We had four speakers. Three from our own club and we were delighted to welcome Joan Crowley from the Muskery Club Macroom. Joan not alone tried but actually convinced us that a night at a Daniel O’Donnell’s Show was a must. We look forward to seeing her back again. Denis Taylor – a new member since Sept gave his icebreaker speech. He was both interesting and witty. We look forward to his next speech soon. The topic session was conducted by Tim Ahrene. His topics were original, funny and got a great response. That is all for now. Do pencil the 16th Nov. for the Schools Contest. You will not be disappointed. A great night is guaranteed.
