BTM Meeting 17/6/2017

On Saturday 17th of June, we had yet another great meeting of Bishopstown Toastmasters!

President Damian Loftus opened the meeting at 11am. We firstly had 2-minute speeches from the 2 Presidential candidates - Kevin Walsh followed by Conor Donovan. The attendees voted to select the new President for the 2017/18 Toastmasters year. Damian then quickly handed over to the Toastmaster for the day who was Helena Dunne.

Helena introduced the speech section of the meeting - there were 3 prepared speeches. Noel Sebbey gave the first speech which was his Icebreaker. It was called "How did I get here?". In this speech, Noel gave a thorough description of his life so far, including moving from the Philippines to Ireland and his college days in CIT. The next speech was called "Effective Coach" and was given by Aleksandra Rogulska. This was an educational speech where Aleksandra explained how a leader can effectively coach others. Mary O'Shaughnessy gave the third and final speech which was another educational speech. This speech gave the audience general advice on mentoring others.

Next, we moved on to the topics section of the meeting.

Theresa Lynch was the Table Topics Master on the day. Theresa had a good mix of topics. She had a question about common sense vs intelligence and also one about the best place you have ever stayed. The Ah Counter on the morning was Jill Roche-Cagney, the Timekeeper was Damian Loftus and the Grammarian was Murt Ó'Súilleabháin. Murt's choice for Word of the Day was Apt, meaning "appropriate or suitable in the circumstances"; this word was used several times! There was only 1 evaluator - Ronan Donovan. The General Evaluator was Mike Mulcahy. Each of the roles was carried out excellently.

At the end of the meeting, Conor Donovan was announced as the President for the new year.

Our next meeting again is on Saturday 24th of June at the usual time of 11am. As always guests are very welcome to attend.

The library has asked the club not to enter the room until 10.45 am. Please endeavour to abide by this request
