For our first meeting of 2011 we had a great attendance and we welcomed along a couple of new guests. Pat Connolly was at his best acting as Topics Master for the evening with a wide and diverse range of topics. Some of the discussions varied from trying to sell obscure timber creations to the advantages of town criers and coastal foghorns.
We had two prepared speeches for the evening. The first from Mike Lynch was a most interesting factual account of when Brian Boru came and did battle in our town of Macroom in 987AD. The second speech presented by Kris Muelemans was a hilarious culinary speech based on the ‘Secret of the Saltimbocca’.
Edel O’Donoghue will be presenting her Ice Breaker (that is, her first speech) at our next meeting on the 27th January. So for an evening of great craic and a chance to start on those New Year resolutions why not come along to the Castle Hotel at 7.50.
