Is your paddling pool legal?

Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

Part 3 in our orientation to a Toastmasters meeting is the evaluation of speeches.

Members are assigned to observe and offer feedback on the impromptu (Table Topics) and prepared speeches. Evaluation helps everyone develop their skills - the speakers, evaluators, other members and guests.

The "traditional" model for evaluating a Toastmasters speech is "CRC" - offer a "Commendation" (positive comment), a "Recommendation" (suggestion for improvement), then another commendation. Our new Pathways Learning Experience offers a revised model - mention something the speaker excelled at, something they may want to work on and offer them a challenge for future projects.

We can be learners and teachers - it's at the heart of the Toastmasters experience.

Hundreds potentially scammed by fake deaf charity fundraisers

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People have been handing out poorly written cards with the sign language alphabet in exchange for cash - but they have nothing to do with any deaf charities.

People have been handing out poorly written cards with the sign language alphabet in exchange for cash - but they have nothing to do with any deaf charities.

"We know that they've been in different parts of Wellington [and] Auckland," said Rachel Noble from Deaf Action New Zealand.

She says a similar scam happened in the 1990s, and legitimate groups almost ended up having to pay for the crime. Read more

To continue our orientation to a Toastmasters meeting, let's talk about prepared speeches.

Each meeting includes up to four prepared speeches from members. The speeches are 4-7 minutes each, on a variety of topics and based on projects from one of the manuals in the "traditional" Toastmasters education programme (often the "Competent Communication" Manual) - or our "Pathways" Learning Experience, the online programme that was launched recently. Find out more about the exciting Pathways journey below!

Each communication project builds a particular skill - for example, structuring a speech, using body language or researching a topic.
