Note that there is a new lock system at the South Bay ramp. Please put the D-Link shackle over the pin, then put the padlock through the hole in the top of the pin. This is designed to take all load off the padlocks, which cost a lot to replace, and were being damaged frequently.

Our facilities seem to be under direct threat from this bill. Take a look at the submission by the Kaikoura district council and their supplementary submission.

Recreational Fishing Council Strategic review

Please download and read the Short Strategic Direction paper from the NZRFC, and take the survey after you have considered the options within. Also bring your considered thoughts to the AGM.

Te Korowai is now developing a draft strategy for all areas, which is now likely to be ready for public release mid 2011. The big quakes in Christchurch have severely disrupted our schedule.
