Gardai swoop on meeting.

Gardai swoop on meeting.

There was a very strong Garda presence at the clubs last meeting. Four non-uniformed members of the force from Cork City sat in on and took control of part of the meeting. However everything was above board as they members of the Guardians Club in Cork city and the Speakeasy Club was delighted to host a joint meeting with them.

One of their members acted as topicsmaster for the evening and as nobody decided to exercise their right to remain silent, he got a great response to his entertaining topics. Also one of their members gave an excellent speech about dreams that had the audience enthralled.

From Speakeasy, Anne Buckley gave an excellently written speech about her memories about her time in Irish college and it struck a chord with many in the audience. Angela Sheehan followed with a very strong speech regarding the problem of litter and how if everybody did their share of cleaning up great improvements could be achieved for all to enjoy. Finally Sean Corcoran shared a very entertaining folk tale entitled ‘The Wise Washerwomen of Mungret’ which had us all laughing out loud.

The Speakeasy clubs next meeting will take place on this Thursday 13th May. The meeting will begin at 8pm and finish at 10pm and takes place in Club Xperience in the Hibernian Hotel. Everybody is welcome and guests will not be asked to speak.
