battle for wello pt lost, the WAR continues...

[coughy]

here is last weekend netmaker of the inspector booking people.

hehehehehe

[netmaker]

and another today makes 62.

[netmaker]

ok, make that 63 unhappy boaties (and another pending details will make 64). was thinking we may need an association name? how about rcscca? (redland city second class citizens association).

[netmaker]

make that 65.

[netmaker]

another 2 signed up today - 1 of my tax clients and another from a windscreen flyer. that makes 67 and counting...

[netmaker]

added another 2 clients this arvo - 1 with a box trailer. and another client in his 80's who wont take his boat out of his shed but volunteered to come down in his car and add his voice. how good is that? so that's 69 trailer rigs and 1 car.

[netmaker]

and another 2 over the weekend makes 72.

[netmaker]

and another 2 today makes 74.

[netmaker]

1 today and we are at 75.

[netmaker]

email sent out today fellas. check your inboxes.

[netmaker]

add another 5 today and we are at 80! dropped another 30 odd flyers under wipers at raby bay today. apologies to any blokes getting sick of removing them!!

[netmaker]

another yesterday makes 81.

[netmaker]

had a good meeting yesterday with mr pr man. he has done some nice work in the last week. it is now likely that an association will be formed representing the interests of qld rego paying boaties. it makes a lot of sense to me. a lot of work has gone into this 1 action and we haven't even got to the bbq yet! i would hate to have to go through the same stuff in another 5 years time or see someone else start again. so the best way to be prepared is to remain prepared by keeping the list growing. there are 256000 registered boats in qld. if even a small percentage were to join an association there are a lot of names for petitions and sending emails and the like. a web site will be under way soon which i hope will be operational by bbq time. in saying that, be patient as the trial has not yet commenced and runs for 3 months. and we still want more participants before the day.

cheers

[netmaker]

add another this morn and thats 82.

[netmaker]

and another tonight makes 83.

[TIM D]

What are all the numbers about Dave ???

Are they all the Grinners you have extracted in the last months

cheers tim

[netmaker]

onya tim did troll up an impressive grinner thursday. and a just legal spottie on a zman to go with it.

[netmaker]

and today i went to see the winner of qld's best bacon award and he will do us a good deal on lashings of bacon, their famous (round here anyway) reggies rissoles and his good pork snags (not the cheap bbq snags). will be a good feed.

[netmaker]

hi all. another good meeting with pr man. first bulletin on way out tonight/tomorrow. bit of a fact sheet so you have some material to use for sending emails. polished looking product.

tomorrow i have no work on so will be printing off new improved flyers, petitions and contact detail forms. then drop off at all redlands tackle shops. also will register a domain name.

another 3 signed up today and i kicked off my petition with 12 signatures which i was pretty chuffed with as i only did 11 returns!

[dantt]

Went for a drive down to wello on Sunday, it was absolutely blowing it's ring off. Every single trailer car park had cars in them, not a single boat or trailer in sight. Actually I lie, there were 2 cars with caravans in the carpark.

[netmaker]

well. a good day today. printed new flyers, petitions and contact detail forms and distributed to all redland tackle shops. first email bulletin has been sent out. i think pr man has done a great job. also registered the domain name: rampitup.net.au. dont bother going there. nothing to see yet...

another bbq attendee today too - thats 87.

cheers

[netmaker]

[netmaker]

well fellas, the signs are up. the 3 month trial starts today. no information yet as to how the trial is going to be measured or the even what the intent of the trial is. what will be considered a success or failure is anyones guess.

[bootyinblue]

Bit hard to read the signs with the flash glare.... can you recall what they say?

[netmaker]

boat trailers excepted

[rayke1938]

I got a telephone call this arvo from a mob doing a survey on satisfaction with redlands council.

Last question was what are the 5 most important things that council should look at.

Ist answer. More trailer parking at Wello.

2nd answer. more trailer parking at weinam creek.

3rd more trailer parking at viccy point.

4th fix the permanent potholes in main st redland bay.

5th fix the above and i will be a happy ratepayer.

If you live in the redlands be prepared for a phone call and do not hang up on them which i normally do.

Cheers

Ray

[coughy]

so if we all reply the same answers we should get the message to them

lol

just writing them down now..

this looks like it will be a real circus and redland city council will look like a bunch of clowns. my enquiries to wendy boglary as to how this trial was to be measured and what would constitute a success or a failure got me this reply:

The recommendation from officers is that as there is no budget approved for information to be collected the assessment will only consist of

· -local laws carrying out normal regulated parking enforcement and monitoring

· Customer complaints.

this has got to be some sort of a joke. how is anything in the above going to measure anything?

are we to believe our council can run a multimillion dollar budget and a population of 150000 odd but are yet to learn how to manage a car park?

[tomca]

any of us that have used the ramp over the weekend should probably bombard Council on a Monday with complaint after complaint. And follow up later in the week for feedback and more whinging.

[netmaker]

for those interested in the parking situation at wello pt on new years day at 1pm:
