Copied from FB:
How many CIY haul out places are left? Any?
On another really important matter , the closure of Little Shoal Bay boat owners accosiations winter haul out yard ( Been on shore there for years and years ) .,, tomorrow 10 am at Birkenhead
Library a meeting is taking place by local Kiapatiki board and Council where the closure of the boat yard will be announced ( we are told it will happen ) BUT not once have boat owners been approached for our say on matters , even though many of us have tried to be heard over some years .,,,,, the thing is the yard is part of our d,I ,y Kiwi tradition , and those wanting us gone have no understanding of our culture of boating . Some of us will be at this meeting and. And as we cannot speak we will boo when the yard closure araises . If you can get there do . Thanks , bob.

Have you heard/seen what happened at the meeting? Losing that space will lead to more derelicts on the harbour.

Have you heard/seen what happened at the meeting? Losing that space will lead to more derelicts on the harbour. There was a moderately incoherent post on FB about the meeting. As far as I can tell, cases were put to the Local Board by a proponent for the hardstand, and against by a local who (it was said in the FB post) was lying, saying commercial operations were being undertaken there, and a few other spurious points. The FB poster wasn't allowed to speak at the meeting, cause you had to pre-arrange that, but apparently gave the opponent some verbal abuse and walked out - which doesn't sound like the most constructive way of dealing with anything, although it appears the poster is passionate about the issue. I don't think a decision has been made, but it is under consideration. If it is important, I could possibly find the Local Board minutes and get actual facts and stuff?
