All in a days walk

Speakeasy toastmasters had their meeting on 10th November. There was great variety on the night with five speeches.

The first speech was given by Marie Lyons. This was a wonderful speech in which Marie introduced herself to the club. It covered where she grew up her education and her work. Marie then told of how she traveled as part of her work and the different places she saw and how she ended up back in Mallow. There was some great humour through out the speech.

Michael Dineen gave an ice breaker in which he introduced himself to the club.
The main theme of his tack was on being an Irish paramedic. Michael outlined all the training that went into becoming a paramedic. He told us of the different standards between being an Irish paramedic and the standards in other countries. He outlined the changes that have taken place and, Michael told us how proud he was of his work.
The third speech was a poem from Jerry O Callaghan. This was a poem on the insights and thoughts of an elderly person it was very well crafted and made us think that things are not always as they seem

The next talk was by Pat Duggan. This was a dramatic talk in which he told us of a dream he had, and it was about where are they now. He named all famous and popular pop stars and wondered where are they now.

The last talk was given by Jerry Mulcahy and entitled All in a days walk. This was a demonstration talk in which he described the various scenery shrubs and plants that you would see on a walk on the mountains of Ireland.

The tea break was followed by a very lively topic session with Mary Moynihan as topic master.

The schools contest is on Wednesday 30th November.
Next meeting is on Thursday 24th November at 8 pm
