otto 31 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 "where has the RAYC gone" Are we serious, perhaps you should do some research such as why the areas set aside for boat storage are now a restaurant and restaurant storage. Maybe that's why the RAYC wants some boat storage now. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 398 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Very little mention of the once proud Royal Akarana Yacht club , still thats the way they chose to run it into the ground, perhaps the squadron should take on the emmies -store them in the Vic building and bury Akkers .

The Squady had the "m" before the aks took them over,not sure what the reason was.. Use to race Saturday 1.00pm with a fleet of 10 most of the time. Might of had something to do with squady new premises and "Ms" couldnt be arsed getting out of wet gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winter 42 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 the feedback form raises the possibility of retaining a handstand here. Council must have noticed some angst about it to re include it as a possibility. Please take 5mins to do their survey. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psyche 626 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 After looking at the plan, I really don't understand what the reason behind this and why they are proposing a PPP. Also if the council can't afford it then the easiest and most practical option is just to leave it pretty much as is. For a fraction of the proposed cost they could achieve the bulk of their objectives instead of turning it into a glorified car park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
