Dead Cars

Hey,

The council has given the OK to have a freebee car removal period for the next couple of weeks. People just have to let Maurice know which ones they want removed.

Thanks,
Alistair.

-----------------

Afternoon,

There will be a moritorium that will be starting in the next week or
so in removing cars off Rakino Island. We have been advised that
there are currently 10 cars that have been spotted on the island by
Morris Brown for removal which we will be taking off first hand.

If there is more than that on the island, we can possibly remove a few
extra in the next financial year.


Talk soon

Off the top of my head, I think that there has been in place for a while a $50 car removal at any time.

Fishing Competition

The Snapper Shield was once again fought for on Queen's Birthday Weekend. This year's fish were even smaller than those of last year but keeping in tradition, the winning fish was caught off the rocks.

In 3rd place, winning a torch with his 1.15kg snapper was Roy Berquist.
In 2nd place, winning a smoke alarm was Linda Wong with her 1.2kg snapper.
Michael Carson won the snapper trophy and a fire extinguisher with a 1.3kg snapper. Last year's winning fish was a 1.8kg snapper caught by Michael Orton.
The mystery prize of a bottle of wine was won by Lez.

Lez provided his kingfish (caught only a couple of week prior) which was devoured along side the sausages and beer consumed at the final weigh in.

Many thanks to the participants and to Lez for organising it and fairly weighing in all the fish.
