Lots to look forward to at next week’s meeting: 11th March.

4 03 2010

All things going to plan, we should have several speeches to enjoy at next week’s meeting at the Macroom E centre, Thursday 11th March at 7:50PM.

By the way, just a gentle reminder to any of our club members that we are looking for Pictures and a few words for the club’s website. How long have you been in Toastmasters? What have you gotten from TM? Any particular experiences from TM stand out? 2 or 3 sentences is all we need.

Any when you are sending on a photo  – Please pick one we will recognise you in!

Two speeches tonight at Macroom Toastmasters.

11 02 2010

Any guests considering turning up to tonight’s Macroom Toastmaster’s meeting in the Macroom E centre ( at 7:50PM) have two speeches to look forward to:

  • A Kestrel for a Knave” by Mark Loughrey
  • “Baby steps” by Anthony Galvin.

While the former is just starting out as a speaker, the latter will be presenting his tenth speech tonight, which sees the completion of the first Toastmaster’s qualification – “Competent Communicator”. We hope to see you there!

Good things come in small packages…

1 02 2010

Or… Small meetings yield great results. Our first meeting of 2010 had a slightly smaller than usual attendance, but the meeting was very enjoyable regardless of the numbers. We were delighted to be joined by two guests, Chris and Ciara who we hope we’ll see again.

Guests are always welcome and they don’t have to say a thing – There is no pressure to speak in Toastmasters!

Michael Murphy gave a great speech on the fickle nature of perception entitled “The Gold Rush”. Both the speech evaluator Michael Lynch, and the meeting’s General Evaluator, Kieran Coffey were impressed by the humour in the speech.

John Skeates also presented a very enjoyable topics session which drew on everything from history to transport.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday 11th of February, 7:50PM at the Macroom-E centre as usual. In case you were wondering where that is, here is a map. We look forward to seeing you there.
