Congratulations, Josh - Distinguished Toastmaster Award
Congratulations are in order for one of our members, Josh Deadman, who recently received the DTM (Distinguished Toastmaster Award).
The DTM represents the highest level of educational achievement in Toastmasters. Josh's journey included 40 speeches, a 2-hour workshop and being a Pathways Guide for 8 clubs in the Wellington and Kapiti areas, as well as a Mentor for our Newtown club.
A sterling effort, Josh - and thanks for all you continue to do for Newtown, and Toastmasters in general!
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.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
