Craft fair! update

The craft fair will held on Labour weekend. It will occur 11 am to 1 pm SATURDAY 25th October, not Sunday as previously advertised.

Free entry if you can find the craft fair, so get cracking and make some stuff. Please register with Harriet Somerville or just turn up on the day.

Children are welcome. Cash, cheques and credit cards will be accepted but NO EFTPOS!

Fishing Competition

The annual fishing competition will be held on Labour weekend. The final weigh in will occur at 3.30 pm on Sunday 26th October. See Lez if you urgently need to weigh in your huge snapper prior to that on Labour weekend.

This is a free competition open to all the people of Rakino in all their shapes and sizes.

The Snapper Shield was originally awarded to the person who caught the largest snapper that year, off the rocks of Rakino.

More information and this year's rules may be posted closer to the time. Thanks to Lez for once again being the man behind the competition.

New ferries...

Details of a new Rakino ferry service are on the Maxx website under the ‘Travel Updates’ tab along the top. Or click here for a direct link. From Friday 1 August the service will operate on Friday and Sunday evenings. Extra services will operate on certain public holidays and details will be advertised nearer the appropriate dates on the Maxx website.

Reuben's Water Taxi is still providing its service.

This was possibly not the desired outcome of the Rakino Ratepayers Association's battle to maintain the ferry service but certainly wasn't a failure. Our thanks go to them for their hard work.

Fire fighting demo, 7 June

Apologies for the short notice but we have heard from Ken Wickenden that there will be a demonstration of the fire fighting equipment (The Fire Lords) on the Island this SATURDAY (7th June).

MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW.

Update: Obviously we were too slow, no details have flowed through this far at this late date.
