In early April Toastmaster Division Contests were held throughout Ireland. On Saturday April 5th, Bobby Buckley was a contestant in the Division M Speech Final in Dublin with his speech, Conclave and Me’. In spite of a fine performance, Bobby was edged out of the awards. First prize went to Aine Ni Ghlinn of Rathfarnham, who was a recent visitor to our club.
On Sunday April 6th the Division A Finals were held in Cork . It was an afternoon of friendship, rivalry and great speaking!..Pat Sexton competed in the Speech Evaluation Contest. Anne Lawlor from Tralee gave the ‘test speech’ and five contestants from different areas offered evaluations on it. Displaying his signature incisiveness and wit, Pat Sexton won First Place. Anthony Garvey of Tralee Toastmasters won the Speech Contest. Both Pat and Anthony will now go forward to the District 71 Irish and British Finals in Solihull in early May. We wish them the best of Luck!
Our next meeting is on this Thursday,April 17th. Why not come along and see what happens at a meeting? You’ll be glad you did!
