Nice and Easy meets Speak Easy

Speakeasy toastmasters had a very enjoyable meeting on Thursday 8th December. There were five speeches on the night; the first was from Tony O Regan. This speech told us of the joys of a skiing holiday and the drama involved when things go wrong. It was a very descriptive speech and we could see the pictures he was painting.
The second speaker was Helen Buckley from the nice and easy club in Cope, this was another very descriptive speech on a trip to Scotland we could imagine the views and shopping to be had in Scotland. The third speaker was Patrica Colman from the nice and easy club in Cope in this we were taken on another holiday this time to Spain. In this speech we heard how Patrica her sister and niece had a wonderful time in Spain. The fourth talk was given by Cait Murray this was a motivational speech in which Cait out lined how to cope with nerves and give a good speech. By setting a goal helps with anxiety, practise informally and imagine a good ending all help to give a good speech and we should live in the moment to help with shyness.
The fifth speech was given by Mary Buckley called what lies ahead. In which Mary tried to predict what would happen next year. It would be an interesting year if it all comes true.
The meeting was then addressed by Catherine Kelly Division Governor in which she outlined how she was a shy person until she joined toastmasters and Catherine never looked back since. After our tea and coffee break we had a very lively topics session from Liam Flynn with topics from celebrity chiefs to the seven dwarfs.
The next meeting is on 22nd December At 8pm in Hi Bi which is our Christmas party night it is open to everyone so if you have a chance come along for an enjoyable night www.speakeasytoastmasters.com
