Waipara River Protest Day

[OVERSZ]

Right O folks here's your chance. If you prefer action to writing submissions this is for you.

As many of you know through the other Waipara River Thread there is a Draft Management Strategy which basically shuts 4WDers out of the Waipara River. SH1 to the Gorge.

This will be your day

SUNDAY 26th September
Assemble 10.30am at Sefton.
To keep things orderly turn into Amores Road then right into Rangiora Leithfield Rd and Right again into Pembertons Road.
This should provide us with enough room for up to 1000 trucks.
Please don't block the road.

Listen on UHF & CB channel 11.

We will then go to Amberley via the Back Road to cause as little disruption to others as possible.
We will Drive past the HDC offices and onto the Waipara River.

Turn into the Riverbed on the left and then go DOWNSTREAM. We will assemble out of site of SH1 so we don't have rubber neckers smashing into each other.

There will be a place there where people can sign a pre written submission. A Sausage Sizzle will also opperate to cover costs.

At a time to be arranged a small delegation will present the Submissions to a representative of the HDC or failing that to someone in the Waipara River Working Party.

Please no Hooning as we will try and have the News Media there.

Tell everyone about this. Lets show them that its NOT GOOD ENOUGH to just shut us out. After all the River has been used for more than 50 years by people in 4WD's. The people who want us out have only had title for less than 20 years.

Tell us your coming, Tell us how many mates are coming. Tell Campers, Tell Fishermen. Tell Everybody.

PM me if you need more info

Cheers

Graham
