Happy New Year!
And just like that, another Toastmasters year has come to an end! Thank you to everyone who supported the Newtown club through the 2018/19 year including our outgoing District Officers Sarah Davy and Glen Pearce. It was lovely to see everyone join in the celebrations on Wednesday and look back at the last 12 months.
Newtown Toastmasters is now 2 years old and has been doing plenty of walking and talking! We've had Halloween and Xmas-themed meetings, we've hosted an Area Contest, as well as running community workshops to achieving milestone DTM's in the club! It's certainly been a roller coaster of a year! Let's keep the momentum going and start the 2019/20 new year with a bang! Our next meeting is Wed 10th July at the Centre! Hope to see you all there!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
