The club had a very enjoyable meeting last Thursday week with a great selection of speeches and a great topics session, which was chaired by Pat Duggan who got the audience really going.
The first speaker of the night was Liam Flynn who read a number of poems and he had the audience enthralled by the way he delivered them. His evaluator on the night recognised this and commended him on it & also gave him a very good suggestion on how he could enhance his next presentation. Anne Buckley followed with another one of her very funny speeches. This time she was celebrating all the different birthdays of different pieces of technology that we all come in contact with these days, such as the Internet and the computer mouse. Anne brought a birthday cake to add impact to her speech and it also added greatly to the tea break as we all got stuck in.
Our third speaker of the night was Loretto Barry who gave us a very informative speech on how to set goals and how to achieve them. Loretto’s evaluator on the night Bridie O’Connell gave very helpful hints on how her next speeches can even have a greater impact on the audience. Our final speaker on the night was Joe Hassett who entertained us all with a monodrama and Pat Sexton evaluated this.
After the tea break Pat Duggan as topics master for the night got us all thinking and speaking on our feet. He had a wide range of topics, which got a great response from the audience and created a great buzz in the room.
The club would like to wish the beast of luck to past member Maire Welford on the upcoming launch of her new book, which takes place on Thursday 29th October in the town library at 6pm
