Well
done to Kieran Butler for being placed third out of nine speakers in the
District International Speech Contest. An absolutely wonderful result
reflecting a confident, well crafted Speech. Also Pat Sexton was placed second
in the Evaluation Contest. The Limerick Riverside Conference was a resounding
success for the club.
At our following club meeting,Marie Fitzpatrick
was first to the podium, with a special occasions speech all about the musically
gifted Willie Clancy who at the tender, young age of 5 was an accomplished tin
whistler.
Dermot Kennedy had a really interesting presentation on “Development of
Computers and Future Trends” He brought us on a journey through how far
computers have come, the highlight being some wonderful props including one of
the first laptops.
Last but not least was Bobby Buckley doing a speech from an advanced manual,
“Presenting an Award”. Bobby presented this award to his sister Patricia as a
small token of thanks for being a selfless carer. A very personal, touching,
tribute that was wrapped in sincerity and emotion. Three very enjoyable
speeches that received a wave of applause.
