Public Speaking
Following the success of the local heat of
the Business and Professional Woman’s Public Speaking
competition in Portadown the team began to prepare for the
Northern Ireland Final held in Ballymena on Saturday 26th
January.
Claudia McClung, Diane Erskine and Vikki
McClung all represented RSD and in the Northern Ireland final
were able to bring home an array of silverware including Best
Chairperson, Best Expresser of Thanks and Best Team. Diane spoke
on the topic “A new Day is Dawning” while Claudia and Vikki
chaired and expressed thanks respectively in a mini-meeting
format.
The girls were successful in gaining first
place through to the All-Ireland final which will be held in
Dublin, in March.
Meanwhile the team will compete in local
festivals and hopefully continue on from their success of last
year.
