THE Kilrush and District Toastmasters Club held their first meeting of the season last week.

Toastmasters club members and visitors enjoy the atmosphere and support one gets from listening to the topics and prepared speeches as well as enjoying the cuppa and informal chat.

Each year the club invite guests to come along to their meetings which usually attracts people who want to learn some new skills without pressure or feeling self-conscious in an atmosphere of support and encouragement or just to make new friends.

Bernie Tubridy of Kilrush and District Toastmasters Club explained, “Many people have a huge fear of speaking in front of a group of people and often actively avoid it but we can all develop this skill if we have the right support which can be found in Toastmasters clubs. Our club together with the Ennis and Shannon Clubs prides itself on diversity with all age groups from all walks of life”.

She added, “Anyone feeling even a bit interested are invited to come along to our Open Night on Tuesday next at the Haven Arms (meeting room) at 8pm where you will receive a huge welcome. Meetings are held every second Tuesday and guests are always most welcome. One can also follow the club on Facebook @Toastmasters Kilrush. The club are looking forward to holding their twenty years celebration next February when current and past members will be invited to join in the celebrations”.
