Be our guest - on Wednesday 27 February!

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

It's time for another "Open Meeting" :) We'd love to introduce you to Table Topics, speeches, evaluations and all the other things we Toastmasters do. Bring your friends, family and anyone else who's keen.

27 February is also World NGO Day - we're excited to have a guest speaker to go with the theme, and will also be peppering the meeting with some related "icebreaker" activities! There'll be time to chat over supper, too.

"Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person". (Seth Godin)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

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.
