A Line in the Pavement

A meeting of speakeasy toastmasters was held on Thursday 26th January it was very enjoyable with a large crowd attending.

The first speaker on the night was David Clarke with a very thought provoking and informative speech called Is this heaven. The theme was to be positive, know yourself, find love, work hard and make it happen.

The second speaker was Ronan Condon with a speech called A line in the pavement .In this talk he told us all about the Mallow rebel trail .It was very interesting because we learned a lot about local history.

The third speaker was Michael Cronin called The birds and the bees and how to fall in love. In this he was doing an interpretive reading from Joseph O Connor. This was very humours and you could imagine Michael being there.

The fourth talk was given by Pat Sexton called The other titanic .This was the story of Titanic Johnson of his gambling and gaming life this was very detailed and well timed.

The final speech was by Ray Ryan called The atomic theory this was an interpretive reading of Flan O Brien’s book The Third Policeman.
After the coffee break we had a large selection of topics from Mary Moynihan.

The next meeting is on Thursday9th February in the Hi Bi at 8pm.
