1/ The major facility is located at South Bay, with the ability for 4 vehicles at a time to launch or retrieve.
There are two smaller ramps with much more restricted access and parking:
2/ On the North Side of the Peninsula opposite the Pier Hotel (with parking on the North side of Whakatu Quay); and
3/ Just north of Oaro, opposite the Ocean View Restaurant, with parking as per parking map html or parking map pdf file.
Please complete and Email your Marine reserve thoughts to us.
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.

AGM was held on Sunday 2nd January at 1pm at the Kaikoura Bowling Club rooms (on Ludstone Road - Kaikoura).
All members should have notification in the november club newsletter, along with subscription renewals notice.
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.
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.
