Council Trials
It has been all hands on deck for the past couple of days. We heard a rumour on Monday that the local Council was about to pass a motion banning all powered craft on the largest lake in our little group of 3. That would have meant the only lake available would be the much smaller one that we as a ski club are based at.
The emails have been flying furiously the last couple of days as club members and various locals prepare submissions to tell the Council what we really think. It all culminated today at the Council meeting where there was a huge turnout of support, especially considering only 2days notice. Although the threat hasn't completely gone the Council did resolve to defer the matter and reopen public submissions.
A huge bonus that came out of all the public support was meeting some of the people that we consider as our summer neighbours. A get together at the clubrooms this weekend will see the relationships developed and strengthened, thus providing a much more united body to present to the Council.
I love the way that our Club being made up of so many different people with hugely varying personalities can really pull together in times of need and present the united front. This is also showing true with the number of people here today with vastly different interests than us and all showing support for a place they hold dear.
