No Mon(ey) No Fun? Oh yes there is, at Speak Easy Toastmasters

Christmas is gone – the pockets are empty, and you cannot afford a night out.

Solution -
You will get for the total cost of € 5.00 - coffee/tea and biscuits ; a warm comfortable room; convivial company; many laughs; the greatest personal satisfaction and sense of achievement when you take part; no hangover; no sore head; no empty pockets; you will make new friends and go home energized. If you can match this offer or you are not happy, we will give you your money back !!!!! Can you find a better offer than that? I doubt it.

Where -
Hibernian Hotel Mallow on Thursday 11th January in the Garden Room at 7.50 pm sharp for the first meeting of Speakeasy Toastmasters Club of 2007

Why -
Because you will learn to

  • Think and speak on your feet through impromptu speaking

  • Prepare and deliver effective presentations

  • Provide constructive and structured feedback

  • Successfully lead and energise meetings

  • Network

  • Build self confidence when communicating in all areas of life

  • These tools will help you to fulfil individual potential in and out of the Work place.

May I clear up some misapprehensions about coming to a Toastmasters Meeting. It is widely understood or should I say misunderstood that you will be asked to speak, and worse still, if you do stand up to speak, you will become asphyxiated, and will have to be resuscitated - NOT TRUE. You may come along as a guest to meetings and keep your mouth shut for as long or as short a period as you wish to do so. However, you will, should you request it, be ‘mothered’ and ‘mentored’ for a limited period. I say ‘limited’ because it would not be in your own interest for you to sit on your pretty little ‘tot’ and do nothing month after month. We are a learning by doing Club. There is a great feeling of achievement and selfsatisfaction when one takes part at a meeting.

So my dear readers take that gigantic step (we will be there should you trip), and come to our next meeting with an open mind. Give us a chance to impress you, and you will be suitably pleased with us. We are ‘awfully nice’ people.

Also feel free to contact our PRO Loretto at 087/4118132 or log on to our web page at www.speakeasytoastmasters.com

On behalf of all the members of Speakeasy Toastmasters may I wish each and every one of you a healthy, happy and peaceful New Year. May we take this opportunity to thank you all out there who supported our Club by coming to our meetings – without you, there would not be a Club. Please continue to come. We will have the kettle on the hob and we will extend a ‘cead mile Failte to each and every person that takes time out to join us.
