Speakeasy Toastmasters met on Wednesday March 31st. Jerry Mulcahy was Toastmaster for the evening and Bridie O’ Connell was Topicsmaster. The other officers for the meeting were Joe Hassett who was general evaluator, Pat Sexton who was timekeeper and Jean Sayers who was grammarian.
Four speakers were on the night’s program. Helen Buckley, from the Nice ‘n Easy Club, delivered a speech about soil cultivation. Kieran Butler argued in favour of equality for both men and women, Ray Ryan Jnr recounted humorous incidences of heckling at political meetings. Pat Duggan invited us to join the “Glass half-full Club” and embrace the power of positive thinking. The speech evaluators were Angela Sheehan, Anne Buckley, Noel O’ Connor and Sean Corcoran.
The next meeting of Speakeasy Toastmasters will be held at our usual venue, the Hibernian Hotel Mallow, Thursday April 15th, commencing at 8:00pm. On that night we will be holding the club Tall Tales contest. Contestants will deliver a short humorous speech which will have bizarre twists. Further details about the club are available from our website,
