won't matter if you do it again either mate. - especially if your email has changed in the last few months. i will be sending an email out within the week proposing all of the 4 sundays in feb and will crunch the rsvp's to work out the best one. i would say that if only 1/4 show up we will still have boat trailers half way back up main road at this rate. may need to consider a shuttle bus...

By way of update on Wellington Point boat ramp for Ramp-it-up website and AUSFISH viewers, I have encouraged the Council to return all of the dedicated bays back to boat parking, unless some other mutually acceptable approach can be found. While I am sympathetic to the local businesses and those who need a parking bay for their car, the presence of the boat ramp means a large number of parking spaces are required for dedicated use.

My comments on Wello Point boat ramp in Bayside Bulletin http://www.baysidebulletin.com.au/st...-point/?cs=213

[netmaker]

thanks mark. a step in the right direction, but when you consider that on new years day there were an additional 29 bays stolen and only 34 bays were used by boaties those 12 bays are virtually irrelevant. what is of more concern is the total arrogance and contempt for boaties displayed by this council in bringing in this unfunded, unmeasurable trial only weeks after being sent photographs of our rigging bays being taken up by single cars.
