Great Start to the New Year for Tullamore Toastmasters Club

Tullamore Toastmasters club commenced into the New Year on an optimistic note with positive viewpoints on topics featuring throughout the night. There was great attendance and everyone was in high spirits. For many the Tullamore Toastmasters Club is much more than a place where they can develop their public speaking and leadership skills. It is also a social outlet; a place to meet new people and exchange stories and laughs from the humorous topics that always feature at our meetings.

Speakers at our last meeting included Patricia Dunne who brought us on a virtual journey throughout Poland with her speech entitled ‘ my visit to Poland’ and Nuala Murtagh-Carton with a thought provoking speech entitled ‘the state of the nanny state’. Fionnuala Galvin gave her advanced speech ‘speaking off the cuff’ on the iconic Titanic disaster and really portrayed her skills gained at Toastmasters as she confidently spoke and quoted facts.

Our next Toastmasters meeting takes place in the Tullamore Court Hotel this Thursday 26th January at 8:30. As always, we welcome guests to come along and see what its all about or bring a friend for support if you’re feeling apprehensive.
