Planes, Trains and Automobiles...

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

It was another enjoyable Wednesday night at Newtown Community Centre, with Travel a common theme - a plane, a train, a scooter, a bike and a spaceship during Table Topics; "Life Hacks" for more comfortable flights; and the pros and cons of "cyber-travel". Later, we heard from the namesake of a former British Prime Minister - about none other than Brexit!

We also welcomed Masae to the Committee as Treasurer. We're looking forward to working with you, Masae :)

Next up, it's our Open Meeting for World NGO Day - with a guest speaker! Same time, same place, Wednesday 27 February. Bring your friends, family, neighbours and anyone else who'd like to see what Toastmasters is all about.

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)
.
