OUR SPEAKER today  -   Professor Peter Thorn from Auckland Medical Research Fountation  -  he has a joint appointment in the Section of Audiology and Department of Physiology at the University of Auckland.  He is a Deputy Director of the University’s Centre for Brain Research and is on the Management Directorate of Brain Research New Zealand, a national Centre of Research Excellence.  He completed his PhD at the University of Auckland and post-doctoral studies at the University of Auckland and at the Kresge Hearing Research Institute, University of Michigan.  His research is in the area of sensory neurobiology particularly inner ear homeostasis and the influence of noise exposure and aging on hearing.     In 2009, he was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) for services to audiology and auditory neuroscience.  
 
The Auckland Medical Research Foundation (AMRF) was founded in 1955 to provide financial support for medical research.
 
The Professor spoke about -   Hearing and balance together provide us with a sense of self within our world, allowing us to connect with and navigate through our environment and to interact and socially connect with people.  Disruption of these sensory systems affects our ability to perform these critical functions, which can have profound effects on physical and mental wellness.
 
Maintaining good brain health as we age continues to be important as hearing and balance deficits are increasingly being shown to be risk factors for developing dementia.

POLIO Day  -  24 October  -
 
An FYI  -  Funds from the Sunshine Fund will be donated to Polio on this day - we are trying to capture as much under the Bill Gates 2 for 1 scheme.
 
and a carry on  for POLIO is  -
 
End Polio Now(EPN) movie night  -  from Gary Langford - DGE
I wanted to reiterate that clubs or clusters will need to book arrangements directly with the movie theatre you choose. In my previous email I attached group booking arrangements for a selection of theatres to give a guide on pricing and arrangements clubs will need to make. You may also approach theatres in your local areas if that is more convenient.
 
The Movie opens on the 1 November however some clubs are looking to hold their movie night on a different date.  As a suggestion you may wish to consider arranging the movie night as an alternative to the normal club meeting. That’s a great way to get a good attendance and provide some variation to the usual weekly meeting format.
