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?

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.
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

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.

Hello! We are a Wellington family looking to buy a 3 to 4 bedroom property in the South/East suburbs. We'd love to do a private sale, if anyone is thinking of putting your house on the market but doesn't want all the hassle of decluttering, marketing, etc! Thanks.

"Table Topics" gives members and guests the chance to speak "off the cuff" for up to 2 minutes on a given topic, often related to the meeting theme. We know this can be a bit scary if it's your first time at Toastmasters, so you're welcome to just get up and introduce yourself - or learn from the other speeches!
