Hi Toastmasters and friends, just to bring you up to speed with our club events. The club level “International Speech Contest” and the “Evaluation Contest” was held In Kerins O’Rahillys club on 4th of this month. The speeches where hugely entertaining and a very high standard. In the “International speech contest” Anthony Garvey and Anne Lawlor will go forward to represent the club and Sonia Elston and John McGillycuddy in the Evaluation Contest in the Area Final on Tues 19th March at the Dromhall Hotel in Killarney. We’re expecting a great attendance, with good craic and loads of fantastic speeches. With refreshments thrown in all for 5 euro its hard value to beat. For anyone that’s curious about toastmasters it would be a great introduction
Toastmasters and would be Toastmasters just a reminder that our first meet of 2019 is on Monday the 7th of January. This is also an open night (visitors no charge) and would be the perfect opportunity to see the club in action. It promises to be a great night with some fantastic speeches, Table Topics and a chance to chat over a cup of tea or coffee. So, if you would like to develop your public speaking skills and increase your confidence why not join us at the Kerins O’Rahilly’s Club at 8pm for some fun as well as some new skills for 2019.
