Some of us have been talking about what makes Newtown Toastmasters special, and we explored this during Table Topics. Wellbeing was a common thread during the prepared speeches - we learned about Mindfulness, Sleep and how skills from Toastmasters can help in difficult times. The very thorough evaluations were appreciated, too.
Thanks, everyone, for participating - see you on Wednesday 23 January :)

Did you see the dolphins or witness the rescue? Have you spotted dolphins in this kind of strife before? Where is the best place in the capital to spot visiting dolphins or whales?

This poor bike has not been used in a few years and has been left outside. If anyone is willing to give it a bit of TLC it is in Kingston to be picked up for free.
