Last night’s Toastmaster’s meeting in Macroom was a howl. Mostly due to the Table Topics session which was presented by Celsus O’Leary. This was Celsus’ first time to oversee a topics session and immediately established himself as a master of the area. The most contentious topic being “Would you rather be born Intelligent or Beautiful?”
Violence was narrowly avoided during the heated debate.
Two speeches were delivered. “Fear of Fear” by Sarah McGuiness. This was an extremely thought-provoking speech which exposed the irrationality of a lot of our reactions to big scares such as Swine Flu or 911. The second speech was given by Kieran Coffey who ambitiously and successfully attempted to explain the equation E=MC^2. The meeting finished up with Fiona Cotter filling the role of General Evaluator – and she did an excellent job on her first time in the role.
