Happy Christmas from Speak Easy Toastmasters

The clubs final meeting of 2009 took place last Thursday night with a good crowd present. It was a Christmas themed meeting. Santa Claus greeted members and guests on their way in and also handed out little gifts people to everybody. This put everybody in good form especially after the budget from the day before.

Pat Duggan who was toastmaster for the evening. He introduced each speaker by telling the audience what their best ever Christmas present was. On the night we were treated to five excellent speeches. I will give more details of these speeches in next weeks report.

Cait Murray was our topicsmaster for the night and got everybody thinking and speaking on their feet with her wide variety of topics. They ranged from ‘favourite Christmas memory’ to ‘is laughter the best medicine’ to ‘best sporting memory of 2009’. The room was filled with laughter when Tony O’Regan was asked where would be the best place to buy a goose for Christmas. Following this Pat sexton was asked to tell us how he thought people would describe him. Liam Flynn as general evaluator commended Cait on her great choice of topics for the evening.

The clubs meeting will take place on the Thursday 7th January 2010. In the meantime we would like to wish everybody a very happy, peaceful Christmas and New Year.
