Competition Night

Last Wednesday, on the first of April, Galway Toastmasters Club had the privilege of hosting our annual International speech and Evaluation contests. 

We were delighted to have Paul C as our master of ceremony, and enjoyed a smooth, insightful and  quality meeting.

Topics such as life, health, happiness, folklore and doing the right thing, inspired Toastmasters Club Members and guests. 

Our contestants in the speech contest, and their speech titles,  were:

Pat O’D.: ‘Running: Good for the body, mind, and soul”

Ann O’M: ‘What day is it?’

Pat C.: ‘Right is Right’

Our evaluatorwere Aisling C and Donal L. They both provided highly constructive criticism in a friendly, encouraging way, showing off their communication skills. They were evaluating a test speech delivered by Margaret S titled 'A Trip Down Memory Lane'.

Gary B, our Topicsmaster, added a touch of humour to the meeting in an elegant, yet relax manner, that helped to balance the formality of the meeting and get us all in the mood to talk. He left members wanting to speak more.
