The meeting will begin at 8pm and finish at 10pm in the Hibernian Hotel and guests present will not be asked to speak. Tea and biscuits will also be provided.
The clubs last meeting which was held on the 20th February was very well attended with a great variety of speeches on the night. Bridie O’Connell who took on the role of toastmaster for the evening ensured that the meeting ran very smoothly and Tony O’Regan as topics master got the members thinking and speaking on their feet with a great mix of one word topics.
Marie Fitzpatrick delivered a very informative speech on the importance of our body language in everyday life. The speech gave all present plenty of food for thought. Michael Cronin evaluated Marie’s speech. Ray Ryan then used his speech to bring a very interesting proposal to the club members which created lots of discussion at the tea break. Helsa Giles delivered a very helpful evaluation on Ray’s speech.

In The Middle
The club members were treated to a very special Icebreaker speech last Thursday night from our newest member Afric O’Grada. Her speech titled ‘In the Middle’ was both entertaining and thought provoking. Her evaluator on the night Marie Lynes complemented her Afric on her great delivery and also gave her some helpful suggestions.
Jerry Mulcahy enthralled the audience with another one of his excellent storytelling pieces. Jerry took a story called ’A blind man and his dog’ and put his stamp on it. The story had a very strong message which told us to be very careful to learn the facts of a situation before we jump to conclusions. Rona Coughlan gave Jerry a very motivating evaluation.
The club members on the night were also looking forward to our next joint meeting which would be held in conjunction with the Failte club in Charleville The clubs next meeting will take place on this Thursday the 20th February.

On Tour
A warm welcome was extended to club members on a recent visit to the Galtee’s club

which led to it being a very entertaining meeting. Speakeasy members Anne Buckley

session. The speakeasy members are now looking forward to our trip to the Failte club in
Charleville on February 10th
Mary Buckley was also involved in our clubs last meeting where she gave a very
appropriate speech for the time of the year regarding New Year’s resolutions. She
encouraged the audience to stick with them if we had made some but also not to be hard
on ourselves if things were not working out according to plan. Sean Corcoran gave Mary
an excellent evaluation of her speech. The final speaker of the evening was a visiting
toastmaster from the Blarney club. Ted Melamphy gave a very educational presentation
on how the internet can be used to make the organising of toastmasters meetings more
