Sunday Afternoon Toastmasters - first meeting of 2022
Happy New Year!
With the new year comes resolutions, and getting over fear of public speaking is a recurring goal for many.
In 2022, one of our club goals is to bring you more “meet our member” profiles so we can encourage others to fight their public speaking fears (or even take their public speaking to the next level) and kickstart their toastmasters journeys.
Chairing our next meeting on Sunday 16 Jan 2021 is our ever entertaining and engaging speaker George. George joined Sunday Afternoon Toastmaster in 2018 and continues to come along for ongoing personal development and the supportive evaluations.
Why not pop into 20 Sydney Street, Petone or online via zoom (yes - we’re hybrid) to find out more about Sunday Afternoon Toastmasters?
DM/PM or email us for more details.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
36.6% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
62.6% No, I enjoy it
-
0.8% Other - I'll share below
Poll: Does a savoury scone require cheese on top, or folded inside?
Help settle the great kiwi debate ... cheese on top, or folded inside?
-
76.3% Inside!
-
23.7% On top!
We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
