There are a few myths and misconceptions about public speaking in general, as well as about Toastmasters. See what you think of these after coming to our next meeting on 13 February!

This happened near the bottom of Adelaide Road, by King Street at 16:40 today. Lots of witnesses. The car hit was white, unsure of model, the registration plate was (I think) LNY111. The truck’s reg plate was FJR823. I took photos and reported it to the police. Hopefully the owner of the white car can see some justice done!

Thanks Brooklynites! You’ve been doing an awesome job reducing your water use this past week, and the good news is that the Brooklyn Reservoirs are slowly starting to recover and refill, and are now sitting at about 90 per cent storage.
But, we’re not quite out of the woods - during peak demand we are seeing about 80-90 litres per second (lt/sec) of water leaving the reservoir, and we’re only able to refill it at a rate of 55 lt/sec.
We’ve also noticed a spike in water use at night-time, so please remember garden watering restrictions are still in place and sprinklers should not be left on overnight.
Also a huge thank you to all of our Water Lovers who reported leaks in the area, of the nine reported in the system we have already repaired four, two are being repaired today, and the other three are minor and will be repaired shortly. Our leak detectives (using leak detection technology) also picked up a further 6 minor leaks and 2 private leaks (leaks on private property are the responsibility of the property owner to fix). All leaks in Brooklyn have been given priority, we have extra crews on the ground, and continued leak detection is planned.
So, if you’re out and about and see a leak, please report it to your local council – they will log your call and send us the details so we can get on to fixing it.
Keep up the good work conserving water where possible, continue to report leaks, and if you see a neighbour using their sprinkler outside the allocated days / hours please contact your local council.

ORIGINAL POST 3pm Friday 8 Feb
During the past week we have seen a significant increase in water demand in Brooklyn.
The increase in water use is due to a number of factors including soaring summer demand and a suspected increase in leaks.
We have prioritised leak identification and repairs and have extra crews on the ground in Brooklyn.
However, we need residents to reduce their water usage for at least the next ten days while reservoir levels replenish and we able to repair known leaks.
Things you can do to reduce your water use at home:
- Put off watering your garden.
- Do not wash your car, avoid water blasting.
- Only use your washing machine and dishwasher when they are full.
- Turn the tap off while brushing your teeth and washing your hands.
- Reduce your shower time.
- Use the single flush button on your toilet (or apply the ‘if it’s yellow let it mellow’ rule).
We also encourage residents to fix any leaks they find at home and to call the Council to report any leaks they see in their community.

Hello Wellington!
I am a struggling millennial (not a trust fund baby nor an estate agent) who has finally saved up enough to buy a property up to the value of $400,000.
I am putting the feelers out to see if there is anyone out there who would be interested in selling their home privately to me, within Wellington or Lower Hutt. I am not super fussy going in as an entry level buyer but do have the follow prerequisites:
- Preferably a unit or house with enough room for a dog.
- Either 1 bedroom with an office/studio or two bedrooms.
- Close to public transport- saving the planet one less car at a time.
If you have been thinking of selling your property but didn't want the hassle of open homes whilst paying huge amounts to real estate agents please send me a message.
Thanks Wellies.
