 Oliver Reilly, a longtime very distinguished member and fomer President of Fermoy Toastmasters, known for his warmth, kindness, insight and wry humour, pictured some years ago at a club meeting at the Grand Hotel, Fermoy. Oliver very bravely overcame ill-health to return to membership and to assuming the Presidential chain of office with success and distinction. He once remarked in the course of a topics session that years ago when there was only one televiison hannel in Ireland, everybody watched: now when there are hundreds to choose from, no one watches any any of them. At the worst of the post 2008 financial crisis, he said in reply to another topic that everyone gets worried when they hear the NASDAC is down, even though no one rightly knows what it is! A flavour of liver's brilliant style so uniquely his own. (Date of issue of this picture:- October 18th 2015).

 Guests attending the 35th anniversary dinner on May 7th 2005. From left, John Mulvey, John Quirke (the longest ever serving club member) and J.J. Bunyan, all former Club Presidents. Waving to the camera is Olive Corcoran, a then active club member who was to go on to serve as the last Mayor of Fermoy before the Town Council was abolished under local government reforms. Extreme right is another former Club President John Kelly, who because of changes of procedure introduced by World Headquarters, held the office for longer than anyone else, a period of eighteen months from the beginning of 1991 to mid-1992. Between them all, here represented are a brilliant constellation of talent and commitment and dedication to Fermoy Toastmasters.
