There was a very nice surprise for Michael Cronin at our clubs last meeting. The club organised a lovely cake to acknowledge his recent participation in the Ireland and UK humorous speech contest, which was held in York. This added greatly to the fun of our tea break as people fought for a second slice.
It was also a special night for toastmaster Mary McCarty as she evaluated her first speech. She did a great job and gave the speaker Marie Fitzpatrick some very helpful suggestions regarding her future speeches.
Mary Buckley was our topicsmaster for the evening and she engaged the audience in a very different and lively topics session. She would ask individual members to talk about an emotion but they had to talk about it from their own point of view. This really got people thinking and there were some great responses.
Details of the five speeches that we had the pleasure of hearing will follow in next weeks report.
The clubs next meeting will take place on this Thursday the 10th of December and will have plenty of festive cheer. The meeting will begin at 8pm and finish at 10pm and takes place in the Munster room in the Hibernian Hotel. Please note the change of room for this meeting. Everybody is welcome and no guests will be asked to speak.
