I too like your e-mail, Nuts. Thanks Peter for your help with spelling & wording it for him. I am part way through finishing my submission, and I am adding the very point you raised here along with others. A big number of people who recreate in 4WD vehicles do so because they can no longer venture ...

Thanks to those who have posted their replies from various MP’s on this post. Yes the responses are all in a similar vain. The responses that I have had all say basically the same, and all point to the reference to the Walkways Act 1990 with a current provision to actually form a Walkway without any ...

Hi everyone The draft bill covers off on recommendations that are basically the Ackland Report on Walking access recommended to Parliament. I have to say this up front as a start, that if you want to get involved with follow up then do your own research and make your submissions. At the very least ...

Oh missed one point,
I have no idea what submission from Combined Steve has read, as it has not yet been completed. We will hopefully complete it over this weekend and Member Clubs will have it then.
Maybe he mixed that up with a submission Graham did for the CHCH 4WD Club.
Paul

Ruff Well done. You seem to have done a good job on two key fronts. First as you are not affiliated to a Club nor combined then you have seen fit to put in your own submission, That is great Second you have at your own expense in time given this a lot of good reading, thinking and have made a first ...

:?: is it true that the christchurch combined organisation support an agenda/policy of access to doc land by permit only. maybe accessman would like to confirm. pip. [/list][/list] There is no such organisation as christchurch combined, I assume you refer to Combined 4WD Clubs Inc. The answer is NO ...

I am glad you followed the rules.

My point is simply this:-
Check out the rules PRIOR to running a trip.

Cheers
Paul

Bruce Mason has lost the plot, he could not convince PANZ to do it his way and now seems to want to change the world. Do not give him the time of day, nor give him any comments, that just make him credible, which he is not. He is using old data, old stories and a person agenda obviously. It is not ...

People please read carefully the post clipping that Azza has put on this post. I add this to help educate:- Frankly driving in open shingle river beds between mid August through to middle January is a total no no. Most nesting birds that use open shingle to nest in, nest during those periods, The ...

Hi Al
Sounds like a great trip sorry I missed it but will catch up at CLROC meeting next month
Paul

A map sketching out the area designated would be ideal. From what I get from the other posts, the whole area from there up stream to basically the gorge and a fair portion on the other side is public assess but this particular area is the part being promoted for general use and the rest recommended ...

For South Canterbury Folks there is also a meeting in Timaru details are:-
13th September , 7pm Pipe Band Hall. Turnbull Street.
Paul

Just to clarify. Looking at the Map Kiwipete put on, Harris Road the road running from South Eyre Road on the west side of the Eyre diversion is actually Diversion Road. Where that road meets the groyne is the start point Map reference E2471300 N5752513, from that point heading west (up stream) to ...

Whilst ORE is not part of Combined 4WD Clubs Inc, Key executive members of ORE 4x4Assn are members in their own personal way members of our member clubs, thus there is input and communications. Where we believe wider consultation beyond our member Clubs is needed we promote that. A good example is ...

Thanks for your post Leithfield. The Waipara remains an issue. What really concerns me and Combined is that the neighboring land owners have had a secret meeting and made a submission to the Huruinui Council for them to put through a by law covering the Waipara. Without going into all the details ...

This news release has just gone out to all member Clubs of Combined. I am pleased to also update forum uses accordingly:- Public 4WD area on the Waimakariri River Park. A special area has been dedicated for 4WD use in the Waimakariri River park. It is on the north bank of the Waimakariri River Entry ...

Combined 4WD Clubs Inc have had a special meeting with senior DOC officials on this CMS. We have arranged a special meeting in Christchurch as follows for all interested 4WD people. Date:- Wednesday 12th September 2007 Time:- 7.00pm Place:- Cashmere Club Colombo Street Christchurch Come along and ...

Hi Goose Agree with your thinking, I have used a similar idea before and it has had some success. Basically what we have is a major case of ‘Selfishness’ and I think that is where Mr Mason of PANZ is coming from. Hence my comment he needs to care that he does not bite the hand that feeds him. Pau ...

To even think of a counter attack at this stage is not a strategy I would support. The meeting in Otago organised by DOC Otago, to which has been referred to, has Otago Land Rover Owners Club (affiliated to NZ4WDA) and Combined 4WD Clubs both attending by invitation and OLROC has the main speaking ...

Muddy,
Get ORE 4x4 Assn to get a submission in too. More the better

Hi nuts
Happy reading.
I have been through the Document and it is very much like others I have gone through over the years. There are some issues that we will respond to but in the main as you said it is business as usual.
Paul

We are aware of this meeting and Combined 4WD Clubs is involved, and one club from 4WD in Dunedin will be an invited speaker /presenter.
Paul

There is no planned clean up at present, but when there is we will post details on the forum.
Paul

Yes that is the plan, the more we get the better.
Paul

Combined 4Wd Clubs Inc will be making submissions.

Hi Jerry
That is exactly what we are doing. and have been doing Thanks

Sadam Husain:-
You are so right!
Paul

There was quite a long thread on the Waimakariri recently. The first post on this thread was posted by me back in March. I think it sums up what is happening in the Waimakariri. Progress is being made on this with E-can and the final result will be a better result for those who use the Waimakariri ...

Thanks Goose Some of my posts I have edited, as I was getting personal. I apologise for that so for the sake of a good record on this thread I removed references to personal comments, condemnations or accusations that were in my posts, they add no value to this important thread and topic, as I do ...
