North Region Senior Speechmaking & Senior Quiz Final

We had a brilliant day on Saturday 7th February at Stromness Academy, where members from across the North gathered for this year’s Senior Speechmaking and Senior Quiz Final.

Six teams took part in Senior Speechmaking, and the standard was incredibly high from start to finish. Our judges — Hannah Beaven, Rob Flett & Robin Nicholson — were hugely impressed by the quality of every performance, making the final decision no easy task!
A massive thank you to our topic compilers, Aimee and Andrew McGregor, for preparing this year’s topics. Thank you also to our brilliant timekeepers and stewards whose support helped the day run smoothly from start to finish. And a big thank you to Orkney Renewables for kindly sponsoring the event. Your support is hugely appreciated.
