Sustainable Communication
It was wonderful to have so many guests at Wednesday's meeting - and so keen to take part! Finnian even scored the best Table Topics Award - great effort from a very natural speaker.
Nakhia's Table Topics questions certainly got us thinking about the meeting theme of "Protecting Our Environment" - and prepared speeches spanned dealing with illness when there's a language difference; mentoring; coping with fear; and smartphone addiction.
Next week's the 5th Wednesday of the month, so we'll have a break from our usual meeting format - the theme will be "Interpersonal Communication". Look forward to seeing you then :)
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?
