A Night of Laughter

A Night Of Laughter.

The Speakeasy toastmasters season of meetings are back in full swing with up to thirty people present at the clubs humorous speech and table topics contest. There was a great atmosphere in the room as the contestants in both competitions got the audience laughing out loud on many occasions.

The contest was chaired by Sean Corcoran who ran the meeting very efficiently and ensured all business was completed by ten o clock. Pat Sexton spoke first in the humorous speech contest and greatly entertained the audience by telling us what Ireland needed to produce another writer to win the Booker prize. He claimed the three essential items needed were poverty, precipitation and chastity.

Ray Ryan followed with a speech entitled ‘extra luggage’ in which he had the audience in stitches as he related to the audience about his urge to remove items for hotels that he stays in and he had a great selection of items, which he showed to the audience. The final contestant was Michael Cronin who entertained the audience with some humorous points about the recession, which included how parents will be able to keep their children quiet in the car next year until May as it will be probably by then a 2010 registered car will be spotted.

Following the speeches there was a tea break and the guests present enjoyed mixing with the members as they got to know each other and also learning more about the benefits of joining toastmasters. The table topics contest followed and there will be a report about this next week.

The clubs next meeting will take place on Thursday 15th of October and will return to its usual format. The meeting will begin at 8pm and finish at 10pm and take place in the Garden room in the Hibernian Hotel.

Guests are always very welcome and will never be asked to speak. For more information about the club please go to our website at www.speakeasytoastmasters.com
