Toastmasters is a worldwide programme where people - organised in Clubs - improve their leadership skills, communication skills and learn how to speak in public. All this in a safe, supportive environment.

We've got the, 'River City Rollers' here in Wanganui. Have you got a funky name for yourself as an individual when you participate in Roller Derby ?

Baking cakes/muffins. .....have perfected my chic-chip muffins for morning teas.
Making marmalade from some of the fruit in my garden and the garden of friends... very rewarding.
Distance walking.. ..done some fabulous walks and lots of half marathons (amazing considering I was a "proper couch potato")
Mosaic art... although not done it lately.
