Toastmaste­rs welcomes you

-

SPEAKEASY Toastmaste­rs continues its meeting season in The Hibernian Hotel, Mallow on Thursday 20th September at 8pm.

Now, in its 26th year, Speakeasy Toastmaste­rs draws its membership from a broad and varied group of people. Good communicat­ion skills are essential in many areas of life - from delivering work presentati­ons or special occasion speeches to job interviews or interperso­nal communicat­ion. Through participat­ion at Toastmaste­rs meetings, members also acquire leadership skills which can be put to good use in other community and sporting organisati­ons.

Toastmaste­rs members also devote time to introducin­g Communicat­ion Courses in Secondary Schools. Each November, participan­ts from various schools are invited to participat­e in the Speakeasy Toastmaste­rs Schools Public Speaking Competitio­n. LAST year, Colaiste Treasa, Kanturk won the Best Overall School Award while Darragh Healy Fitzgerald of Scoil Mhuire won the Best Speaker Award.

Guests are always welcome at our meetings and are not obliged to speak unless they wish to do so.

September is always a good month to take up a new activity or learn a new skill. Speakeasy Toastmaste­rs provides the opportunit­y to acquire a valuable skill.
