Replacement of Big Screen TV in Auckland 30/03/2005

It is with thanks to the management of the Carlton Hotel in Auckland that the big screen plasma television has been replaced in the crew room there. It was after much discussion with the club that the hotel decided to replace the unit (with the same model as purchased by the club) at the hotel employees expense.

The new unit has now been structurally secured to the premises and should preclude a reoccurrence of the event, again we should thank the hotel management of the installation which was at no cost to the clubs membership.

The actual theft of the unit is still under investigation and anyone with information is requested to come forward.

Los Angeles - Pasadena - 01/07/2003

Earlier this year the Club's Committee placed notices at each hotel in Pasadena as well as on this website regarding the bicycles stored at the hotels in Pasadena. This notice was in regard to the individual members responsibilities to prevent the damage and loss of bicycles.

This notice appears to be disregarded by a minority of Club members.

Missing  & damaged bikes continues to be of the utmost concern at this slip port, the cost continue to escalate in to the thousands, bikes needing replacement or repair on a weekly basis.

The Committee is asking all members slipping in this port to be vigilante with the use of the bikes and if any member observes misuse or negligence they are asked to contact the Club's Committee with details. ALL INFORMATION RECEIVED WILL BE TREATED IN THE STRICTEST CONFIDENCE.

The Committee would also like to point out that these ongoing costs are taking funds away from the Committee and there ability to provide and enhance other services to members.

These days are also being held to answer any general questions as well as disperse many rumours members have about the club. As always the clubs 'books' will be available for inspection for any member that wishes to view them.

The first day was deemed only mildly successful as access to the main crew lounge was not available and main members where not aware of the day. This will no longer be of concern as access to the main lounge has been approved for our next 'Open Day'.

Remember... We need your constructive input to help us better run the club!
