Toastmasters Tokoroa demo meeting
Hi Tokoroa, I used to break into cold sweats just thinking about talking in front of people before I joined toastmasters. I have gotten so much out of toastmasters not only did it teach me to manage my nerves but also to gather my thoughts and think while I speak, how to express myself effectively, I have also gained leadership skills as well as mentoring. In addition to all these benefits I have certainly met some very interesting people and been part of a very supportive groups that learn and have fun toastmaster nights together. We will be having a demo meet up again on the Thursday the 4th of April, please feel free to check out our facebook page Tokoroa Forestlands Toastmasters for details we keep it updated and post our meetups on there. We would like to have as many guests as possible so everyone is most welcome.
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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
