Woodhouse and Italy
A great attendance
The club had a great meeting last Thursday night with over thirty people present. Many of those present on the evening were guests and they enjoyed what they saw. Anne Buckley chaired the meeting. As Toastmaster Anne ensured the meeting ran smoothly throughout.
We had four excellent speakers on the night and Joe Hassett was the first to speak. Joe gave us a very entertaining reading from the works of PG Woodhouse, which went down very well with the audience. Joe’s evaluator on the night was Declan Curtis and he gave some great suggestions to Joe for his future speeches.
Jean Sayers then followed with a speech about Halloween, which was very topical with Halloween just around the corner. Her speech enlightened the audience to the meaning behind many of the traditions of the time of the year. Marie Fitzpatrick gave Jean a very motivating evaluation. Sean Corcoran followed with a very powerful display of speechmaking whereby he took a famous historical speech and delivered it to a present day audience with great effect. Tony O’Regan as evaluator commended Sean on his fine delivery.
The final speech of the night was a very entertaining one delivered by Cait Murray in which she described her cycling holiday in Italy and questioned as to whether or not you could call it a holiday with all the steep hills that had to be negotiated. Loretto Barry gave Cait a very helpful evaluation.
The clubs next meeting will take place on Thursday 12th of November. It’s a special night as it will be the annual Schools Contest whereby students from the local schools will get an opportunity to demonstrate their speaking skills.
