COCKERMOUTH SPEAKERS CLUB


The evening at our recent meeting got off to a good start with an icebreaker. It took the form of a story detailing a coach journey to Blackpool by a group of people from Cockermouth.


The first main speech of the evening was by Sandy Emmerson, who took on a task in the advanced section of the 'Speakers Guide'. The role was as a Radio Reporter, the location she chose to talk about was in Dallas, Texas back in 1963 when President John F. Kennedy was in the motorcade, which suddenly turned into his assassination. Sandy, reporting on a happy occasion as he travelled with his wife Jackie in an open-topped limousine. Then, with somewhat quivering voice she had to describe the horror of the shooting that took place, Sandy followed the rush to the Parkland Hospital, where the President was declared dead. She portrayed the scene with a great amount of emotion as this event would have been, changing from a celebratory parade through the city. Sandy was then faced with questions from the studio, which she had to answer on the spot and before the nationwide audience listening to the broadcast.


This speech was reviewed by Peter Hodgson who felt that this assignment was quite difficult but Sandy had made an excellent job of giving lots of information, taking the audience back to that fateful day in 1963.


After the interval, it was time for Topics, this is the section where the speaker has no time to rehearse and must speak straight off the cuff. It was chaired by Vic Emmerson, who asked the topics to speak about a subject opposite to their own views.


First was Peter Hodgson who is well-known for his dislike of sport, he was given the topic, Professional Footballers are not paid enough.


Mike George had to talk about how good Strictly Come Dancing is, he dislikes this programme intensely.


The whole evening was entertaining, educational with a lot of laughs in the topics session.

~ COCKERMOUTH SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCE CLUB ~


The birthday of Robert Burns, the well-known Scots poet is celebrated all over the world. The Bowling Club in Wigton is one of the local organisations which hosts a Burns Supper each year and it is well-supported. An excellent meal of haggis, neeps and tatties with steak pie was enjoyed with a dessert of Cranachan (raspberries, toasted oats, cream and whisky) to follow.


The haggis was addressed in verse and then a piper played many tunes on the bagpipes. A toast to the Immortal Memory of Rabbie was given and the poem ‘Tae a Moose’ was recited - then it was time for dancing!


The Cockermouth Scottish Country Dance Club dancers performed The Burns Hornpipe, Kiwi Magic and The Elephant Stampede. Members of the audience joined the dancers for Circassian Circle, Come What May and a Canadian Barn Dance.


If you would like to know more about Scottish dancing and join in the fun of the dance, do come and join us – no previous experience is needed!
