On 22nd March speakeasy toastmasters held their International Speech and Evaluation contests. There were five contestants in each contest. The first speech was from Pat Connolly called the power of one; this was about the history of the Special Olympics. The main theme was that we all have the power to change the world around us.
The second speech was from Bridget Breen called Shut up and listens. This explained the difference between the male and female brain and was very humours .
The third speech was by Liam Flynn called The anvil of Life. This was about the kitchen table and all of life that goes on around it. He outlined that it was the hearth of the home and that children got a broad education around it where ideas were matured in the family.
The fourth speech was from Tony O Regan called The Bucket this was the winning speech. In this speech he looked on life as if was a bucket .The speech was very cleverly put together and very thought provoking.
The fifth speech was from Pat Sexton called A letter to Ashling .This speech came second. It was a very emotive recollection of thoughts as to our existence and reincarnation and also very thought provoking
In the Evaluation contest the contestants had to evaluate a speech by Colette Noonan from Failte toastmasters in Charleville called A certain Age. The five contestants were Pat Duggan, Pat Sexton who won, Tony O Regan, Liam Flynn who came second and Celia Cremin.
We wish the winners will have success in the area final on the 9th April in Charleville
