A Good Yarn

Speakeasy toastmasters had their first meeting this season on Thursday 1st September. It was a very interesting and enjoyable meeting with a large crowd present. There were four talks on various topics both interesting and informative.
The first talk was given by Tony O Regan who is president for the year. The theme of his talk is that we should listen, think, and then talk. He outlined that toastmasters would help you to attain these skills.
The second talk was given by Mary Moynihan. This was a demonstration on how to give a very humours after dinner speech .The most memorable quote was that old age was all in the mind but the trick was to keep it there and not to let it travel down the body.
The third talk was given by Marie Fitzpatrick titled on how to spin a good yarn. This was a speech on the clever use of words it was very humours on how to knit an Aran jumper which had the audience in bouts of laughter.
The fourth talk was given by Ray Ryan which was a story with a moral after which you would wonder could you trust an eye witness.
After tea, coffee and a chat there were some lively topics given out by Jerry O Callaghan which varied from the rose of Tralee to the value of good neighbours.
The next meeting is on 15 Th September @8pm everyone is welcome
