Notices & Updates Ruataniwha, 22-28 March 2010
- Weather
Victoria University provides an excellent weather forecast service.
- Tent sites
SIRI works on a first-come first-served basis for tent sites and is selling tent sites by email through their Secretary, Mr Philip Bell, who can be contacted at: secretary@sir.org.nz. Sites at Lake Ruataniwha cost $256 + GST E&OE.
- Twizel Accommodation
TPDA is a good place to check for accommodation. Enquiries to Jeanette Gash tpda@twizel.com, ph: 03 435 0066, fax: 03 435 0086.
- Didymo / boat & gear washing
Sadly, didymo is well established in Lake Ruataniwha. It is now more important than ever for schools to carefully wash all their on-water equipment. This includes any socks and footwear that goes in that Lake. Don't forget "Check, clean, dry". SIRI has well-established provisions for washing boats and Rangers will be on hand to oversee the process. All boats will need to be washed upon arrival at Lake Ruataniwha (this a requirement for lake usage imposed by Meridian Energy).
