"Culture and Uniqueness" was the theme of our meeting last night. With some still on holiday, we were smaller in number, but ready to rock for another year!

Some of us have been talking about what makes Newtown Toastmasters special, and we explored this during Table Topics. Wellbeing was a common thread during the prepared speeches - we learned about Mindfulness, Sleep and how skills from Toastmasters can help in difficult times. The very thorough evaluations were appreciated, too.

Thanks, everyone, for participating - see you on Wednesday 23 January :)

Luckily, a trio of locals scrambled down the steep cliffs to rescue the pair of dolphins from a small alcove in Houghton Bay.

Did you see the dolphins or witness the rescue? Have you spotted dolphins in this kind of strife before? Where is the best place in the capital to spot visiting dolphins or whales?

Community theatre is alive and well in Wellington. New community company - Kauri Theatre - staged Bad Girls the Musical at the Gryphon Theatre last year and it was a great success.

Now the company is hitting the boards again - this time bringing the musical of the cult film The Full Monty to Wellington audiences.

If you have always hankered to give live theatre a go we would love to see you at auditions in early February. All you need to do is prepare a suitable song and come along and give it a shot. We’re looking for all sorts of people, different ages, shapes and sizes.

Auditions for this 10-time Tony Award nominated show - which is filled with engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show - are being held on February 2 and 3 at the Berhampore Community Centre on Adelaide Rd.

The show will be staged at the Gryphon Theatre in Wellington from May 29 to June 8.

For more information - and to book an audition time - txt 022 165 6219 or email the secretary at kauritheatre@gmail.com
