Toastmasters.
I belong to a toastmaster Club called Pioneers. We meet at McDonalds in town at 7am on a Thursday morning.
We are looking for new members and I would like to invite you to three free meetings.
Benefits to you are increased confidence from facing most people's dreaded fear of public speaking.
Inspiration from listening to a variety of fascinating speeches from other motivated members.
Friendship from a group of people who are willing and able to help you with your development. Please ring Janet on 3463435 or 0273513887 if you are interested and I will meet you there and introduce you to everyone. PS I am speaking on my recent 8 day holiday to Singapore this Thursday so feel free to come along and be inspired to journey to places you have never been before.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
