Belmont Off-Line
- 30 Jun 2008
- Wellington VHF Group
- The Belmont repeater site has been shut down. The storm over the weekend of 28/29 June has broken the 11kV power line on the Belmont side of the gully. A small slip on the pylon access road and poor track conditions are hampering access. With another bout of bad weather approaching it may be several days before the slip can be cleared and the line is repaired. Anyone who is willing to help clear the slip should contact Peter ZL3TC on (04) 938 3386 or 021 185 0640. Services will be restored as soon as possible.

- An injury-plagued Slapperz journeyed to Petone Memorial 4 to take on the Armani's. With Steve-O and Barts on the sideline nursing aches and pains, we were all hoping for an injury free match. No luck there, I'm afraid, with Gazz limping off after just 1 minute with a nasty looking recurrence of his injury. Fortunately, Striker Barts gallantly came to the rescue and played the remaining 89 minutes up front.

Andy Foster from the council has questioned the need for 12 courts. He is pushing to revisit the ’sites analysis’ with the idea of 8 courts at the Port (if the land can be obtained) and possibly covering some courts at Hataitai (amongst other possibilities).

Speaker: 26 June 2008 Meeting

- Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) are essential safety equipment that can save your life if you get into trouble at sea or on land. When a beacon is activated, Maritime NZ's Rescue Co-ordination Centre receives the satellite information, finds and locates the beacon, and co-ordinates a rescue mission. This month we are very fortunate to have Rodney Bracefield from the Maritime New Zealand Rescue Co-ordination Centre coming to speak to us about EPIRBs and how the related systems work. This promises to be a fascinating evening.

Mill Creek Wind Farm
- 11 Jun 2008
- Eye of the Fish
- Mill Creek wind farm is the proposal to build a new wind farm in the Ohariu Valley north west of Wellington, and it borders the other major wind farm project: West Wind, also by Meridian Energy. A self-appointed group of selfish Makara Residents, the “Makara Guardians” led by local Makara resident Jenny Jorgenson tried their hardest to get the West Wind stopped - thankfully they were tossed out in the Environment court. A similar group is also fighting the proposed Mill Creek giant wind turbines, and they’re just as selfish too.

They'll be arriving in NZ in July and they're here for a year. We've got students from Brazil, Germany, Japan, just to name a few countries.
