Contests Coming

One of the highlights of the toastmaster year is the international speech and evaluation competition night. To compete in the international speech competition, one deliverers a five to seven minute speech.

The winner at club level then progresses onto the area stage, which locally is area 17, including the clubs in Fermoy, Mitchelstown and Charleville. The Area winner then competes at the Division Final. We are part of Division A, which includes all clubs in Cork, Kerry and Limerick County.

The Division Winner then progresses onto the District Final, competing against speakers from other divisions, across the UK and Ireland. The district winner then competes at the Toastmasters world convention.

In the evaluation competition, a guest speaker from another club delivers a speech. The competitors in the evaluation competition are led away to another room to prepare their evaluations. The competitors are then brought back one by one to deliver their evaluations.

The evaluation competition progresses to district level.
You can see this in action when Speakeasy Toastmasters will hold our club evaluation and international speech competition, on March 18th at the Hibernian Hotel, Mallow, commencing at 8:00pm.

Further details about the club are available from our website www.speakeasytoastmasters.com which features a blog containing all our past press reports, or from Ray at 086-3675706. Non-members are welcome to attend our meetings and will not be asked to speak.
