"Hello" - and "Goodbye"

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

Tonight we saw journeys begin and journeys end.

We enjoyed Jeanette's inspiring and well-structured Icebreaker, "3 Things That Have Made Me Who I am". It's always exciting to hear from new members for the first time.

Norbert recently completed his "Visionary Communication" Pathway and took us through the 500 days of 10 projects - in all of 12 minutes!

Finally, it was time to say goodbye to Matthew and Debs, who are both returning to live in the UK. You've both made great contributions to the club and we'll miss you - look forward to having a drink with you on Friday :)

Combining biking with bus travel

Sue from Brooklyn

Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.
