Hi to all fellow boaties large and small.

It’s been quite some time since there has been an update from the committee so here goes.

1. Quick reminder – subs are now due before the 1^st October 2018 or your card will be deactivated. This will set you back an additional $20-00 to have it re-activated.
2. New chip seal has been laid around the north western side of the car park area. Soon to have the white lines painted for vehicles with trailers on to park there.
3. New committee has been voted in at our AGM held in August.
4. Small pennant flags displaying the MPBC logo are now available – contact the secretary on 027 6037210.
5. In addition to the existing barrier arm card reader, an additional bank card reader is about to be installed for the casual users.
6. ALL LAUNCH / YACHT – BERTH USERS: i.e. any vehicle without a boat trailer. As the fishing season is upon us, please park your vehicles either outside the barrier arm but still within the MPBC marina complex or adjacent to the coffee van. In addition, parking will also be made available inside the marina complex against the guard rail barrier running along Wharf Road up to where the maintenance compound starts. If you are not sure where to park, contact the secretary or the marina supervisor on 027 6633995.
7. A local contractor has been sourced to continue with the marina basin excavation. At this stage with a little bit of luck, work is planned to commence mid-October.
8. Both sides of the launching ramp have recently been hosed down to remove the mud.

Yours sincerely,

Ross Satherley

Port Motueka Maine Services now have several trailers at Motueka which means they can cater to all your Haul out requirements

For more details contact Marc Wilson on 02102247449.

We have appointed Alan Nobel as Marina Supervisor over the summer period (and hopefully longer) You will see Alan around the Marina area on a regular basis and if you have any questions or require his assistance you can contact him on 0276633995 or via the contact us page of the website

Angela Kenning has accepted the position of Treasurer and will take over from Bruce in this role over the next few weeks. We wish Angela all the best with this role and ask that you provide her with any assistance you can during this transition.

It has been noticed that some members are dumping fish remains and other undesirable rubbish into the water in the marina and launching ramp area.  The club does not condone the dumping of rubbish of any sort in this area and would appreciate it if members would either dump their filleting waste out at sea before coming into the marina area or take it home with you and dispose of it some other way. We also do not tolerate the dumping of fish waste in the rubbish bins provided at the ramp area.  These bins are for normal paper plastic and tin type rubbish that you accumulate while out on your boat. We would appreciate it if everyone would try to keep the area clean and tidy and not smelly for other members to enjoy. Thanks.
