It was an excellent meeting. We welcomed 3 guests - Celsus, Gordon and Mark and we are delighted to welcome all 3 as members!
Fiona Cottor was awarded member of the year for all of the effort put in since joinging the Macroom club. Well done Fiona!! It followed Fiona giving a Stage 2 speech and she did a great job.
We had a Topics session with two toastmasters – Micheal Murphy and Sarah McGuinness. The meeting was so busy, we only had time for one topic each – Sarah on how big shops are invading small towns and Michael on how with the Tour De France about to start, Should drug testing just be stopped and let the cyclists at it?? A heated debate I would think given more time!!
Celine Cremin gave a 20 min talk on effective listening as part of her Advanced Communicator program. Mike Lynch gave his last speech in the Competent Communicator Manual, stage 10 on Engaging with Toastmasters – Both were excellent.
Macroom Toastmasters meetings will resume again on Thursday September 10th at 7.50pm in Macroom E and all guests are welcome!!
