Notice to Bach Users
Payment must be made within 30 days of hiring the bach.
Gas bottle, toilet paper, washing powder and dish-washing liquid are not provided by the club, so please bring your own
When leaving the bach take care to clean showers, make sure the freezer is clean, and do not leave any clothing, food or equipment behind.
To hire the clubhouse is $20 per night for club members, $30 for non-members, children under 12 are free. Minimum hire is $40 per night. Maximum hire is $150 per night.
The bach hire is restricted to financial members. Outsiders can only hire the bach in exceptional circumstances i.e. the Police have a yearly hire arrangement.
Club Boat
It is the person who is hiring the boat’s responsibility to make sure it is full of fuel, that there is no damage to it, the trailer or the motor. It must be completely full of fuel when you have finished with it and cleaned. Some cleaning can be done out at sea like getting rid of cray legs and old bait.
Remember to turn off the kill switch and ensure the boat has been fully refuelled. Don’t leave your club mates with a partly filled fuel tank!
If this is not done then future hire of the boat will be in doubt.
On club days the boat is free – only fuel to be paid for.
Both boats are available for hiring.
Boat Usage
A reminder about the club boat usage. In order to meet the boat insurance criteria, when the club boat is used, a member of the Dive Club MUST be skipper and that person MUST hold a Day Skippers License.
During hireage if an accident occurs the hirer will be liable for the excess on the insurance.

Fishing Competition
The fishing competition has been postponed until 18 March 2017.
Akaroa Club Weekend at Duvauchelle’s
We will be based at and staying at the Duvauchelle Holiday Park.
This weekend will be a dive and fishing weekend open to all club members but we will need to know numbers of people going and also if they wish to stay in one of the cabins, bring a caravan or even a tent and how many nights they want to stay.
A deposit will need to be paid once we have some confirmed numbers to confirm the booking.
This was planned for the weekend of 18 March but may be changed due to the postponement of the fishing competition.
If you are interested, please contact Nigel ASAP 021 223-1046 or 327-9366 email;
