"Stuffy"? "Boring"? Look again!

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

"If your initial impression of Toastmasters was that of a stuffy, boring organisation where people gave toasts to each other, then I think you should look again". (Scott H. Young)

We agree - and next Wednesday (13 February) would be the perfect time :) Message us for more information.

Hi!! My name is Lauren, I'm a 22 year old medical student and very keen to do some casual babysitting around Wellington. I’m a medical
Student at Wellington Hospital, and keen for a little work on the side, so am looking for some families in need of childcare!
I am primarily free during evenings and weekends, but depending on my schedule which regularly changes, I can also do during the day.
I have extensive experience with children of all ages (and babies) and have been looking after kids for the last 8 years! (experience with up to 5 kids at a time) I love kids and genuinely enjoy babysitting!
I have a full license and a safe car so able to drive kids as needed!
Would love to meet you, feel free to flick me a message if you're in need of any childcare!
Thanks, Lauren.

Patterned Tiles

Just Paterson

What do you think of the new NZ police armour?

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?
