Worried about making a wedding speech? Want to get your message over more eff ectively?
Need to become more confi dent in public?
If the thought of talking to a group causes your chest to tighten, or the act of giving a talk causes you other horrible symptoms,
then joining Stirling Speaking Society may be the answer.
Learn to become more persuasive through practice and guidance in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
We are used to people coming to see what we are about, so you’ll be under no pressure to do anything until you are ready, but you will be able to see what we do, how we do it, and if you would like to do it too.
Our members know these feelings well, and have learned how to overcome them as their confi dence and communication skills have grown. Helping people improve is a big part of the Society’s activity.
On the other hand, if you already speak with confi dence and poise, you’ll be in good company because we have plenty of excellent speakers who never fail to deliver a fi ne performance. You are very warmly invited to come along and to fi nd out if you would enjoy doing what we do.

Autumn is the best time of year for beautiful sunsets. Capturing them on camera can be tricky though. Here’s how to take better sunset pics.
Choose the time and place – Make a note of places where you’ve seen wonderful sunsets, then make a point of travelling there before the sunset to give you time to set your camera up.
Think foreground – The best sunset photos tend to have something of interest in the foreground, generally silhouetted, to provide a focal point. Look for a great tree, or a wind farm, even pylons can look picturesque in front of a sunset.
Patience and a tripod are very handy – Sunset actually goes on for quite a long time. As the sun dips beneath the horizon it can produce some spectacular shots, but afterwards, the colours of the sky can become even more rich and beautiful, so hang around. The best shots are often longer exposures, so they will look shaky unless you secure your camera to a tripod.
Ignore ‘the rule of thirds’ – It’s a good rule, but with sunsets you generally want to place your horizon really low down in the shot so the picture is fi lled with colour.
Use refl ections if available – If you are near water take full advantage of doubling the impact of your sunset. Experiment by placing the horizon at exactly half way, or fi ll the shot with refl ections only.
