Speak Easy Mallow Toastmasters Celebrates a Year of Growth, Voice, and New Leadership 🎤✨

Members of Speak Easy Mallow Toastmasters recently gathered at the Hibernian Hotel for an evening celebrating communication, creativity, and achievement, marking the close of another successful club year 🏆

The night featured a diverse programme of prepared speeches, poetry, impromptu speaking, and evaluations, reflecting the core mission of Toastmasters International: empowering individuals to become more confident communicators and leaders 🌍🗣️

Highlights included a reflective reading of Ozymandias, engaging prepared speeches spanning storytelling, humour, and presentation mastery, and the club’s signature Table Topics session, where members sharpened their impromptu speaking skills in real time ⚡🎭

The evening also marked a significant leadership transition, with outgoing President Paul Corcoran formally handing over the presidency to Rachel Liston for the 2026/27 Toastmasters year, signalling a new chapter for the club 🔄🤝

A special recognition was awarded to James McConville, named Jerry Mulcahy Toastmaster of the Year for his outstanding contribution to club life, particularly in public relations and member support 🌟👏

🎤🌹 Leadership in Action at The Rose Conference 2026 🌹🎤

A proud moment for Speak Easy Mallow Toastmasters as our very own Paul Corcoran chaired the International Speech Contest at the District 71 Finals during the Rose Conference 2026 in Tralee. Paul was also the recipient of Toastmasters of the year for the Area!!

Chairing a District-level contest is no small task — requiring professionalism, organisation and calm leadership to ensure a smooth and successful event.

Paul guided proceedings with confidence and care, helping create an enjoyable and engaging experience for contestants and audience members alike. 👏

At Toastmasters, leadership grows through service — and it’s wonderful to see members of Speak Easy Mallow contributing at District level and supporting the wider Toastmasters community.

A fantastic achievement, Paul — well done! 🙌

🏆🎤 District Podium Finish for Speak Easy Mallow! 🎤🏆

A huge congratulations to Pat Sexton, who proudly represented Area 17 and Division A at the District 71 Finals during the Rose Conference 2026 in Tralee. Pat competed in all three competitions: International Speech Contest, Evaluation Contest and Table Topics Contest respectively 🌹

Competing against the strongest Toastmasters speakers from across Ireland and the UK, Pat demonstrated incredible composure, quick thinking and speaking skill under pressure.

🥉 We are incredibly proud to celebrate Pat securing 3rd place at District level for the Table Topics Contest — an outstanding achievement and a proud moment for Speak Easy Mallow Toastmasters.

Getting to District level takes dedication, courage and commitment — and placing on the podium is something truly special.

Pat’s journey from Club → Area → Division → District is a brilliant reminder of what happens when you continue to grow, challenge yourself and step outside your comfort zone.

👏 Well done to all contestants who took part — the standard was exceptional!

✨ Growth. Laughter. Confidence. ✨

There's always a moment of calm at the beginning of each Toastmasters meeting.

An opportunity for our Speakers to center themselves before their moment in the spotlight. Nothing else can replace that feeling of excitement for delivering a speech that you feel passionate about. A topic that you want to share with others. Something that will have an impact on their day and sometimes their lives.

Enjoy that calm before the buzz of guests and members taking their seats. It won't last too long.

Always happy to see each other and welcome guests, there is no other club that gives as warm and enthusiastic a welcome as Speak Easy Toastmasters in Mallow.

We had another fantastic evening on Thursday 14th May 2026, as we gathered for the second-last meeting of the 2025–26 season in the Hibernian Hotel.

We do more than give Speeches!

Have you ever found yourself at a Meeting that is poorly run? Perhaps the Chairperson speaks too much and the Agenda is chaotic?

In Toastmasters, we don't just present Speeches, we also learn the important skill of running a Meeting in an orderly but friendly manner.

The Club President opens and closes the Meeting and also deals with items of Club business.

The Toastmaster of the Evening runs the Meeting, introducing the Speakers and other key roles. It's all done in a timely fashion so the audience doesn't turn into pumpkins.

The Topicsmaster leads the Impromptu section of the Meeting, acting as a Discussion Leader, encouraging contributions.

These are the vital skills of Leadership we can acquire in Toastmasters.

To witness our well run Meetings, why not pay us a visit?

Our Next Meeting takes place on this Thursday, the 30th April in The Hibernian Hotel, Mallow at 7.45pm.

Guests are always Welcome !

Officers at our last Meeting - Rose Murphy, Topicsmaster; Paul Corcoran, President and Helsa Giles, Toastmaster of the Evening.
