Bare Stairs

Congratulations to Michael Cronin and Pat Sexton for winning the Division A final of the humorous speech and table topics competition .They are now going on to represent us in the District final in Glasgow on the 12th and 13th of November.

Speakeasy toastmasters had their last meeting on Thursday 27th October. There were four speeches .First was an ice breaker or first speech from Ronan Condon in this he introduced himself to the club outlining his work and hobbies it was a very confident speech and well prepared.

Next was Bridie O Connell with a talk about adult literacy called second chance .It was surprising to hear that up to 25% of people had some problem with reading or figures. She outlined all the work that adult literacy were caring out to help.

Liam Flynn gave an interpretive reading of Sean O Faolain’s short story Up the Bare Stairs. This was followed by Noel O Connor with a reading of an extract from The Year of the Hiker.

After the tea break we had a very lively topic session from Pat Sexton. The next meeting is on 10th November at 8pm in the Hi Bi.
