Canterbury Windsports Association

Work, expected to take two years (pre-earthquake Sept 2010), has started on the Ferrymead Bridge, with contractor site access signs going up at the northern entrance to Scott Park, just below the bridge in the MPYC/MPBC car park. City Council Project Leader Peter Rivers says that the contractor requires access along the paper road beside the estuary to their site from the Northern entrance between the following hours:

Monday - Friday - 07:30am to 06:30pm

Saturday only - 07:30am to 01:30pm

So long as windsurfers do not block that access, they can continue to park and rig up at Scott park, although this doesn't preclude the contractor from restricting access at other times, but lets hope this is during the week.

Just $29 each (or $25 at the AGM)

The CCC Park Rangers have asked that each vehicle closes the swing gate after it passes through, and that the last one out closes it and locks up, in order to keep the vehicles of non-windsports users out. They say the kite launch area and car park is on private land, and that we're privileged to be there, so please let's give it a go to show them we care. Signage will be established to clarify this, and we're considering a self closing mechanism on the gate to make life as easy as possible. So please let's give it a go to show them we care.

Here's the plan in full: A core group of trusted CWA kiters know the padlock code and open up when kiting is on; the gate is closed as we pass through; the last one to leave closes and locks both the cable and the gate, for which you need the code - if you don't then get to know your fellow CWA kiters, or ask me. Otherwise it's left to security who arrive late at night, and in the meantime the vandals have a field day.  Thanks, John.
