Xing from Silverdale

The Wordplay on Saturday Toastmasters Club is a new club that is in the process of being officially chartered this month (April 2019).

We need 20 members to make it happen!

So far we've got over 10 already signed up, and about another 5 that are about to sign up.

If you would like to take the rare opportunity to become a chartered member of a new Toastmasters Club, you are welcome to come to visit our club meeting this Saturday 20th April.

The joining fee is NZ$95 for half a year (April to September), plus a one-off registration fee of NZ$30 if you have never joined a Toastmasters Club before.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Would you help your kids out with buying a home?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

OPINION: Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with many Waikato families again and again.

A child has found a house. The market feels like it’s moving. There’s pressure to act quickly. And before anyone has really had time to think it through, parents are being asked to step in with cash, guarantees, or equity from their own home.

Would you help your kids out with buying a home? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
