🌿✨ Table Topics Winners – 7 September! ✨🌿

What a fantastic round of Table Topics at our Fresh Air and New Starts meeting on Monday!

We had a tie between Phil and David! 🎉👏

🎬 David was asked: “If you lived in a movie, what would the title be?”
His answer quickly turned into a celebration of his love for Star Wars — and we discovered just how much of a Star Wars nerd he really is! 😂🚀

Thank you, David, for joining us and getting involved — and congratulations on becoming one of our Table Topics winners! 🏆

⏳ Phil was asked: “What is the best advice I have ever received?”
His answer? Advice from his future self, travelling back in time to tell him to join Toastmasters sooner! 😂👏

And then came a historic moment… Phil got the RED LIGHT! 🚨😂 For those new to Toastmasters, red means you've gone over the 1–2 minute time limit — and seeing it happen to Phil was quite something!

A huge thank you to Leanne for the brilliant questions. They gave us plenty of laughs, but also some genuinely thought-provoking answers.

That's the beauty of Table Topics: whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced speaker, you never know what question you'll get — or what answer you'll come up with!

Congratulations to our joint winners Phil and David! 🏆🏆

🌿✨ Clean Air and Fresh Starts ✨🌿

What better way to spend a Monday evening than with fresh ideas, fresh voices and, hopefully, a few fresh perspectives? ⭐

Join us at Toastmasters Perth for an evening of speeches, impromptu speaking, good conversation and plenty of opportunities to practise your speaking skills.

Whether you're a regular Toastmaster or you've never given a speech before, everyone is welcome!

📅 Monday 7th September
🕖 7:00 PM

Come along, bring your ideas, and join us for an evening of Clean Air and Fresh Starts. ✨

We'd love to see you there!

🏆 A Toastmasters first! 🏆

Congratulations to Leanne and Allison for winning our Table Topics competition! 🎉

For the first time ever, we had a tie at Toastmasters! You both did an amazing job — you’ve officially created a new Toastmasters precedent! 👏😂

And look who came along to join us today… 🐶❤️
Look at this little beauty! Isn’t it cute? 🥹 Our very special four-legged guest came to visit Toastmasters today!

With our theme “Words That Change the World”, we had some really interesting conversations, a special guest, Michelle, and three fantastic speeches.

Another great Toastmasters meeting! 🎤✨

Well done, Leanne and Allison! 👏

🌍 Words That Change the World
What book, speech, song, film or story has stayed with you long after you experienced it? What words have changed the way you think, see the world, or understand yourself?

Come and share your thoughts with us on Monday 17 August as we explore the words, stories and ideas that have influenced us — and the power our own words can have on others.

📅 Monday, 17 August
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 National Christian Outreach Centre Annexe, 28 Glasgow Road, Perth

You never know which words might change someone’s world. ✨

🎉 Congratulations to our Table Topics winner, Daksha! 🎉

At our 3 August meeting, with the theme "Discoveries", Daksha won us over with her hilarious answer to the question:

👽 "If aliens discovered Earth tomorrow, what would confuse them the most?"

Her answer? Accents! 😄

And honestly... she has a point! One country can have countless accents, and here in Scotland, it sometimes feels like every town has its own. From Glaswegian to Highland accents (and maybe even a few "secret" ones! 🤫), it's no wonder newcomers sometimes wonder if everyone is speaking the same language.

Daksha shared her own experience of trying to understand the different Scottish accents when she first arrived, and it was both incredibly relatable and absolutely hilarious. We were all laughing along, especially at her stories about the Highlands!

Thank you, Daksha, for reminding us that sometimes the best discoveries come from the funniest misunderstandings. Congratulations once again on your well-deserved win! 👏💙

What comes to mind when you hear the word discovery?

For some, it's the discovery of a new continent. For others, it's a scientific breakthrough, a life lesson, a new friendship, or simply discovering something about themselves.

That's why we've chosen Discoveries as the theme for our next meeting. It's inspired by the spirit of exploration, but it's not limited to history. Every discovery has a story, and every story deserves to be heard.

Whether you have a tale to tell or you'd simply like to listen and experience Toastmasters for the first time, we'd love to welcome you.

Come along, meet new people, enjoy a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, and discover where your voice can take you.
You might leave with a new discovery of your own.

Guests are always welcome!

🎉 Congratulations, Roxy, on winning Best Table Topics Speaker! 🎉

You did an amazing job at our Toastmasters meeting on Monday, 20 July.

I really enjoyed your speech, and I thought the question you were given was brilliant. Out of all the Table Topics responses, yours was definitely my favourite!

When asked, "What habit would you start this summer?"Your answer was unforgettable:

"The same one, I promise myself every year but never manage to keep—going to bed early!" 😂

It was such a hilarious moment and had us all laughing. Congratulations again—you absolutely deserved the win!

Last meeting was a fantastic one! 🎉
We were treated to not one, but two Icebreaker speeches from new members, Roxy and Maria. Icebreakers are the first prepared speeches that new members do and are always a highlight, giving us the chance to get to know our new members and hear their unique stories. Well done to both of you on a great start to your Toastmasters journey! 👏
We also enjoyed an engaging speech from Caroline, who told us all about CareSound Radio, formerly known as Hospital Radio Perth. It was fascinating to learn about the station's history and the valuable work it continues to do for patients, Carehomes and the local community. 📻
A huge thank you to Brenda, who did a wonderful job as our Toastmaster for the evening—and earned extra appreciation for bringing along her delicious homemade chocolate brownies! 🍫😊
Thank you to everyone who contributed to another enjoyable and inspiring meeting. We look forward to seeing you all at the next one on Monday 20th July

Our next meeting just might have a theme something to do with the World Cup 😁😁
