Please use the launching area to the south of the sandbags or from the rubber mats on the ramp.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><u>Boat Storage<\/u><\/p>\n<p>It is necessary to pay $90 per year per boat to store your boat at the club.\u00a0 If you have multiple boats, it is $90 per boat. It is not a storage area for boats that you don\u2019t want or have the room for at home. You must also be a current financial member of the club.\u00a0 Please take this opportunity to take your unpaid boats home or put them outside.\u00a0 A craft audit and removal to the yard will be carried out in the next fortnight.\u00a0 Many reasons for this action, including the underinsurance of the stored craft (affects those that have paid correctly) Open spaces for other member boats.\u00a0 But most of all pay your way and don\u2019t dump your gear at the club.<\/p>\n<p><u>Change of locks on roadside shed. \u2013 Actioned 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0Oct<\/u><\/p>\n<p>You will notice that additional locks are being added to the roadside shed.\u00a0 This is to improve the security of the club owned and pathways boats.\u00a0 Only club boats will be stored in this area. Parts have been continually removed from these boats and various boats damaged with the cost to the club to refit\/repair them is immense.\u00a0 Privately owned boats will be put in the main body of the club.<\/p>\n<p><u>Come and Try<\/u><\/p>\n<p>This will be only one day per month for kayaking, there will be a $10 cost and paperwork to be filled out.\u00a0 One again insurance concern is the main reason for these changes.
