POSTPONED THS:UKI Scotland Branch Debate Night

**POSTPONED**

THS:UKI Scotland Branch invites you to take part in our first debate night at The Palm Court Hotel, Aberdeen on the 25/06/2025.

The doors will open at 18:30 for a light buffet and networking prior to our debate starting at 19:00.

This format allows for you to join or make a team of speakers: one team of three people on each side. With each of the speakers giving a speech of up to 7 minutes. The first four speakers give their speeches, alternating between proposition and opposition.

The debate is opened to the floor, providing audience members the opportunity to address questions to the speakers. Following the floor debate, the two remaining summary speakers give 4-minute speeches (with the opposition going first), summarising their cases, rebutting the other side and responding to questions from the audience.

There would typically be two or more speakers for both sides of the motion, but we’re looking or three per team. The audience has the opportunity to question and challenge the speakers during the evening.

There are no presentations this is purely public speaking.

The debate result is determined by the number of individuals in attendance raising their arms for ‘aye’ or ‘no’, and the debate is moderated by a host.
