Great craic at Toastmaster’s meeting.

23 10 2009

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.

Our next meeting is Thursday, November 12th at the Macroom E center.





Next Meeting – Thursday 22nd October at 7:50PM

21 10 2009

Please come along to our next meeting, tomorrow night in the Macroom-E center. We will have two speeches from Sarah McGuinness and Kieran Coffey. Both of which will be their Second speeches to the club. Best of luck to the two of them

As usual there will be a Table Topics session (chaired for the first time by Celsus O’Leary) at the start which is a good chance to get thinking on your feet – No pressure. All guests are welcome and need not say a word. But if they want to contribute, that’s fine too.

Peter Neville will be our toastmaster, chairing the meeting for the night. And sometime around 9, we will break for tea and biscuits.
