Thursday 14'th April

We live and learn as times goes by. There are two clichés for the price of one. But we are near the end of the 2004-2205 Speakeasy year. Next meeting is the AGM April 28th. The night of the 14th kicked off with Noel O Connor as Topics - master dealing out questions about Rule 42. Or again questions that reduced a certain prince and his bride to figures of fun. Oh dear. Again, more seriously all welcomed the award gained by the Mallow Railway Station. So it went.

John Dillon spoke on Toastmasters Education Programme. Marie Fitzpatrick followed with a speech laced with humour as she ran a critical eye over eating out. She contrasted this with dining at home for value financially and gastronomically. She sold the idea that home cooking is best. Pat Sexton evaluated this speech giving it the praise it well deserved and making more puns than we had buns for tea.

Mary Buckley in her speech questioned the causes of increasing crime involving teenagers such as the reckless driving of stolen cars and robbery with violence. All the systems education, health, welfare and justices came in for scrutiny. And importantly parental control. Loretto Barry evaluated praising the depth and scope of this well delivered speech.

Mary Stack General Evaluator for the night gave a comprehensive review of the proceeding speaking highly of Toastmaster Anne Buckley's role. Ray Ryan was timekeeper and Sean Corcoran presided.

The Next meeting is on April 28th .Guest are always welcome.
