I will have to apologise for this “divide and conquer attitude” of the NRC. Up until last week the nearest drop in, as so called, was at Waitangi on Monday 10th April and because of the time restraints only 21 days submissions closed we asked them to come to Doves Bay to have a normal meeting where they would address us and questions asked from the floor. This request was re- fused and therefore we had to agree to their format. NRC has contacted us since the meeting where they have suggested that any members that did not get their questions answered to submit a written question to the club’s office. They are prepared to come back and address the written questions. I hope I can rally the clubs in the BOI to make submissions on the NRC marine pathway management plan. I attended with Melanie, a meeting at Opua with all the marina reps in the NRC region to collate a response to the NRC Marine Pathway. I urge all boat owners to put a submission in, as this is your only opportunity to voice your opinion on the selected charge and implantation.
