The "Charlie's Angels" of Newtown Toastmasters!
This month we celebrated 3 of of our charter members achieving their communication awards. Congratulations to Victoria, Lisa and Dianne! The "Charlie's Angels" of Newtown Toastmasters!
Victoria and Lisa completed their Competent Communicator awards over the last 2 years and have amazed and entertained us with stories or their families, travels and work. Victoria excelled in the Area H4 contests last year as she showcased her humour and her fear of wetas. While Lisa has been a star player supporting the community by helping out in running Speechcraft workshops.
Finally Dianne who was a Club Mentor for Newtown achieved her Advanced Communicator Silver award and has been incredibly supportive of new members through their journey by encouraging them to take the first step towards conquering their fear of public speaking.
Many thanks to you all and keep up the fantastic work on supporting the Newtown community! 🎉👍🙂

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.
