Stories from Dublin
A very enjoyable meeting of speakeasy toastmasters held on 9th February. There were four speakers on the night.
The first was Marie Lynes with a speech called a place to visit. This was about a visit to Glasnevin cemetery and how fascinating it was. Marie outlined the history of the cemetery and that it was for all religions and none. Going through the head stones it was really a history of Irish society from Parnell to Michael Collins. After hearing this talk you would be encouraged to visit Glasnevin cemetery if you got the opportunity.
The second talk was by Bridget Breen this was about communication. In this speech Bridget told us that body language and jesters make up to 70% of our communications and words less than 30%. She outlined a few examples to prove this.
The third speech was a story from Jerry Mulcahy. This was about a twenty one year old from Kerry going to Dublin for his birthday and all the adventures that he got up to. This was a very humorours speech.
The final story was from Mary Moynihan this was about her brother and sister starting school this was very enjoyable and well put together .There was a very lively topics session from Claire O Connell.
The next meeting is on February 23rd in the Hi Bi at 8 pm.
