Tralee Toastmasters... 30 Years Young !

Last Sunday, Tralee Toastmasters marked the 30th anniversary of their chartering with a special celebration at Ballyseedy Castle. The event was attended by current and former officers and members of the Club, as well as several distinguished guests including District 71 Director Brenda Lannon, Division Director Maura Meany, Past District Director Gerard Mannix, and Fr Amos from St Brendan’s Parish.

The evening featured a fantastic meal and a range of speeches, songs, comic sketches, and reminiscences, as is typical of any Tralee Toastmasters gathering. To commemorate the occasion, the Club produced a book titled “The Written Hand and the Spoken Word” entirely in-house, compiling speeches and articles from current and former members.

Q & A – WHAT ARE DOMS?

In recognition of their dedicated service, Brenda and Maura were awarded Honorary Membership of the Club. President James Finnegan expressed his gratitude to all members who have contributed to the success of the Club over the past three decades and who have also played active roles in their local, regional, and national communities. He also thanked the Club Committee, Ballyseedy Castle’s management and staff, and the St Brendan’s Parocial Centre Staff for their support throughout the year.

Q. I’ve recently started a new exercise regime and my muscles feel tired, achy and sore. Is this normal?

A. Yes, this is completely normal. What you’re feeling is DOMS, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

Q. What are DOMS?

A. DOMS is due to temporary muscle damage and inflammation caused by unfamiliar and unaccustomed exercise.

Q.Is it a good thing to have DOMS?

A. Having DOMS is usually a positive sign post exercise. It indicates that the muscle is healing into a stronger state than it was before the activity and hence it means the exercise was indeed effective. It is a normal feeling to experience when starting a new exercise regime, or when you increase the intensity or frequency of your exercise

Q. What can be done to ease DOMS?

A. First of all, try to make sure you are getting adequate nutrition and hydration through the foods and fluids you are taking in. Gentle exercises like walking, swimming, mobility work or cycling can help to ease DOMS. A sports massage or deep tissue massage can also help ease DOMS. Massage can work directly onto the areas of tension, restoring blood flow, flushing out the muscle tissue and relaxing the muscle tissue.

Have a good weekend!
