Thursday November 13 2008

Congratulations Michael!! On Saturday afternoon last, before a packed audience of Toastmasters from all corners of Ireland and the UK, Speak Easy Toastmasters member, Michael Cronin was crowned champion Humorous Speaker of Toastmasters District 71. This was a fantastic achievement as Michael was in competition with the best humorous speakers in this part of the world.

Michael in no stranger to speech contests and for the past number of years he has been "knocking at the door". He achieved second place in the Humorous Speech Contest in 2005 and also second place in the Evaluation Contest in 2006.

Michael now joins the previous Speak Easy, District Contest Winners, Matt Lawlee (Humorous Speech winner in ' 95) and Pat Sexton ( Table Topics '96, 06) in this fantastic achievement.

After the excitement of Michaels win on Saturday, the party lasted into the small hours and no doubt will continue tonight, Thursday, in the Hibernian Hotel at our regular meeting.
