Well done to Brendan and Phelim who did the club proud today. Excellent speech from Brendan - lots of great feedback from the audience who really enjoyed it. 😀Phelim was placed third in the evaluation contest - a great result for his first area contest. Thanks to all the club members there today - The strength of the Dundalk Club and the support of members was evident. It was a great event for learning and development.

Area Contest at 2pm in the Carrickdale Hotel tomorrow. Brendan Reilly representing Dundalk in the Speech contest and Phelim O'Neill representing Dundalk in the Evaluation contest. Best of Luck and every good wish to them. It will be a great event - if you can please come along to learn and enjoy and to support your club members. It will be great to see you there.

Michael Woods, Area Director gave a comprehensive and informative presentation of the new Toastmasters learning programme called Pathways. It's a new approach combining the best parts of a Toastmaster meeting with a new individually chosen learning programme that brings the speaking and leadership aspects together. It looks really interesting and our 'homework' ( ever the teacher, our Michael) is to log on to the Toastmaster website and take a look. Next meeting is the 9th April so you've even more time to check it out....homework will be checked!

Spring Equinox - and it's sunny and it's Tuesday and it's Toastmasters. Due to the bank holiday yesterday Dundalk Toastmasters is tonight Tuesday 20th March in the Ramada Hotel at 7.45. Looking forward to seeing you all there.
