Adrian, we sail in Waihi first Sunday of each month from Sept to May and then have the three months of winter off. You will often find people there other Saturdays and Sundays too. We start about 10:00 and got to whenever we have had enough! Council says we can use the lake any time, only restrictions are no IC or Fast Electrics boats. The Scale Marine Modellers visit first Sunday in Sept each year. There will be another lake available in Cambridge by Feb next year and the weed problems at Turtle Lake in Hamilton appear to have been fixed so SMMC will go there in Feb too. Present plan is Cambridge on a Sat and Hamilton on a Sunday. They also go to Hawera in Oct. For $15 I feel it is well worth being an associate member of SMMC just to get the newsletters. Alternatively if you want to send me a P M with your email address I will send on any events notices I get. Cheers, Ian.
ps, yes I have a shed, 9M by 6M but we built a barn style house just so we can have a play room inside that is half the floor area of the building for me to work on boats and her to paint works of art that are going to make us rich one day!
