The
meeting on Wednesday the 22nd of February was opened by our President Pat and was swiftly handed over to Mike, our
comical Toastmaster for the evening. The educational speech delivered by
Margaret was on ‘picking a topic’. It highlighted that if your enthusiasm for
the topic isn’t flowing early on, to let it go!
The
following topics session involved speaking for two minutes on an object blindly
drawn from “Sarah’s bag of tricks”. Those with crew cuts spoke about hair
straighteners, the nostalgic about a computer mouse and the sentimental about
tissues.
Next
up was a CC9 speech prepared by Martin with the intention to persuade his
audience that growing comes with learning. He quoted from the Shawshank
Redemption, “Get bust living or get busy dying”!
Our
final prepared speech of the night before the break was an ACB speech given by
Donal aiming to inform us on “Road Car Safety Progams”. He foresees a V2V
‘vehicle to vehicle’ future, where vehicles will communicate directly with each
other. Anything to minimize human interactions!
Near
the end of the night, in the creative corner, Astrid enticed us to consider
Galway’s own introductory course to sailing and learn to have the wind as an
ally. Our President wrapped up the meeting and Wednesday the 8th of
March is when we will next gather.
