Notice of Special General Meeting

Mana Crusing Club is supporting club members in their effort to eradicate rats from Pickersgill / Matapara Island in the Queen Charlotte Sound. The club members formed “Cook Strait Pest Control” Charitable trust (CSPC). The Trust operates in conjunction with DOC and Te Atiawa Trust, who are the guardians of the Island.The objective is to contribute to the environment of the Sounds in a positive way and ultimately to prepare the Island to receive Native Birds and possibly Tuatara as a grow out sanctuary.

Annual Fishing Competition Postponed to 28th March

Due to the weather forecast showing at least a 20-knot southerly at Fisherman’s Rock by 7:00 am tomorrow, we’ve had to make the difficult call to cancel the competition for tomorrow. We know our more dedicated fishers would likely head out regardless, but as a family-friendly event, we have to prioritise the safety and comfort of everyone—especially the kids and those in smaller vessels. With those conditions, it just wouldn't be the enjoyable day out we want for our members and guests.Unfortunately we can’t access the wardroom this Sunday, so we’ve moved the reserve day to Saturday, 28th March.For those who picked up wristbands tonight, please hang onto them! They will remain "live" for the 28th. If you can’t make the new date, just email fishing@manacc.co.nz and we’ll get your entry fees refunded.We’re sorry for the last-minute change, but we’d rather see you all out there when the weather plays ball!For those who haven’t registered as yet, registrations, wrist band and entry packs will be available from 6pm on Friday 27th March and again until 9am on Saturday.Fishing starts at 7am till 4pm with weigh in between 3pm - 5pm. Look forward to seeing you then.Any questions regarding this can be sent to fishing@manacc.co.nz.
