"Hello" - and "Goodbye"
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 :)
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
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.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
