News.
There have been a few training days/competetions: Allison attended the Officer training day on the 25th of February. Allison, Michael, Romana and I helped with afternoon tea at the area competitions on the 18th of March. Allison, Romana, John P and I attended a very valuable Membership workshop on the 25th of March. Sadly we said goodbye to Michael who has decided to take a break from Toastmasters, hopefully we will see him back at the club again. Michael has played such a vital role in the club for a long time so will definitely be missed.

Upcoming Events.
Toastmasters District 72 Convention: Dunedin 4-6 May 2012. We have Registration forms for those who are interested or you can download one from: http://www.toastmasters.org.nz/events/district_conventions It is an exciting and rare opportunity to have the convention in Dunedin this year. There is no competition this issue as no one seems to be entering unless I remind them so I dont really feel like pressuring people just so I can buy them chocolate. We had no entrants last issue so we will have break from competitions until someone requests to have them back. Thanks for playing people, it was fun. Please email (salis.emma@gmail.com) or write down anything you would like to see in the next newsletter and give them to me.
