Our Club is a high achieving club. This past week Nuala O'Connor has come in second place in the District 71 Toastmasters International UK & Ireland Speech contest! Mairead Murphy got to District level back in 2012 with the Tabletopics and again during the Covid years with the Evaluation contests. A Toastmaster does not have to enter contests but it can be a fun challenge!
