"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"
Tuesday night was our first online club meeting, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". Some of us were a bit young to get the Monty Python reference, but enjoyed the light-hearted spirit of the meeting anyway!
Some parts of the meeting, like evaluating speeches, work a bit differently when you're online - but with some thought and creativity, a good night can be had by all.
We're already looking forward to next time (Tuesday 31 March). As always, we welcome guests - head to newtown.toastmastersclubs.org and get in touch so we can send you the Zoom meeting details.
Stay safe, everyone - see you online!
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.

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?
