Our Topicsmaster was Ruairí. Topics ranged from the changes to the leaving cert points system to being asked to sell a bottle of water to the audience.
We had three speeches, two from members of our own club, and one from the winner of our division final.Mary delivered her CC3 on the fascinating topic of ageism, explaining what it is and why it is so detrimental. Ann gave her CC10, asking that we appreciate light in our lives by showing us beautiful images she had captured with her camera. Finally, Máire, delivered her winning speech on what it takes to bring an idea from inspiration to fruition.
We had a guest also from Tuam Toastmasters club to talk to us about Cruinniú, a Toastmasters meeting hosted by Tuam Toastmasters on the 14th May.
