to me
Hi Amy
Here's the invoice I have paid to Taupo Waters Trust for the Lake usage.
My account number is 06-0622-0086726-00
I'll forward the Taupo Harbour master invoice once I have recieved and paid it.
Cheers
Bob
We have not received an invoice for the Harbour Master Fees so do we take the deduction out of the above invoice and then pay the Harbour Master invoice when it arrives in full?
To my knowledge there were 7 paid up entries for the Taupo 100
Pay full invoice to into Bobs account and then send invoice to the Hamilton MPBC for $35 which is for the 7 entries
Incoming concerns Re Taupo Offshore
Hi Gents,
Not really my business as such but here's my 2 cents worth...
Taupo Offshore again not overly well supported, although it was fun.
As I understand it quite a premium was paid to local Iwi and Harbour Master to be able to run at Taupo ?
Seems to me the cost outweighs the value of running at this venue ?
Maybe a letter or phone call to Taupo Mayor to confirm we have raced annually at this site for years (25 ?) and never had to pay above fees until recently.
We bring in a group of competitors and family who by and large stay at local accommodation, eat at local restaurants, shop in town etc etc.
As a non profit organisation we are seeking to run a fun event for its members.
The costs being charged to use the venue would be far outweighed by the value the event brings to your township, and the costs to use the venue are now prohibitive.
We have any number of other venues in different towns / cities we can use where the event is welcomed and supported and there are no venue charges.
ie, Drop the charges and we will keep coming back.
Perhaps you might contact Regan Hart in Rotorua as I understand it he "leads" a small group of RC boaties there and they have several spots around the main Rotorua Lake where they run, surely one of those could be negotiated for use, perhaps instead of Taupo ?
Will leave it with you...
Cheers, ST.
Hi Amy,
Yes Hamilton MBC have annoyed me for years the way they wait so late to get an entry form out in advance of their events.
Hamilton 100 entry form out 2/6/23 for event 17 June (15 days), and then cancelled (assumed lack of entries?)
Taupo 100 entry form out 27/7/23 for event 19 August (23 days) 7 entries. When other clubs have posted on NZMPBA website their entry forms months in advance.
Also minimal effort to promote their events, except one cryptic mention on the NZMPBA FB page by Bob.
I think being so late with entry forms hinders getting a good entry cause folk assume it is not happening or have made other plans?? I have mentioned this to them on occasions and they seem totally unconcerned.
Also Bob and Matt are not currently NZMPBA financial and yet they are negotiating with NZMPBA for $ support!!!
HMBC also has/had a rule that their club membership is free if they are NZMPBA financial. Was the case in 2008 as I recall.
Seems that they would have collected 7 x $25 =$175 in entry fees for the Taupo 100, rather cheeky to be asking NZMPBA to foot the bill when have collected this amount of $. They should chip in with the bulk of the $175.
Then too cap it all (HMBC) can't even do a write up!!! Lazy.
Be interesting to hear Rudy's take in it since he was there, and that committee will consider accordingly.
Regards Peter Collier NZ23
OUTCOME
Send letter to Hamilton MPBC just to look into what they should be paying. Rudy to draft letter

It was bought up at the AGM once again re electronic timing
I have done some more research and to set up the system and to try and make it portable is way to expensive to consider as I feel that the NZMPBA can put the money into promoting the hobby as we are way down on members this year. The cost of an electronic lap scorer system is going to come in somewhere around $7,000.
To Expand on the reasoning for not doing more on with this is electronic lap scorer system is that you need to pass under the sensor wire within a 3 meter section and the wire end point can not be any further than 6 meter from control station also the sensor wire can not exceed 1 meter above the water the transponders are about $60 each and are hard to waterproof without shutting the signal out all it is going to be very hard to make the system portable. After talking with some club in Aus that are trying to run this kind of system are running into problem like water getting into transponders the sensor wire getting broken and getting boats to register if they do not go through the correct spot. and cost of implementing system
No further action to be taken
Incoming Emails: Refer to Taupo Offshore.

General discussion and any other business
Unfortunately due to Amy’s and My health starting to severely deteriorate we are going to need to rely on committee members stepping up to take on more responsibility while Amy and Myself work on trying to get better than what we are now.
