G'day BrewGuru. Those other threads have been around much longer so obviously will have had a lot more views. This thread has only been running a short while and has had 1,097 views already which is sure to climb up. Hopefully enough people have been reached who are willing to support. Time is fast running out so I would encourage all who want to support to show a definite interest to give Chris an idea of numbers. We DO NOT want to kiss our Bay goodbye do we? I will be there and hope no Greenies try to board my vessel. I may have to take them hostage.

Yep I with you all the way poodroo, I am fairly new to Ausfish but I have been fishing, prawning and crabbing the bay for 20 years, I am very very passionate about our lifestyle and how lucky we are to have it. I guess I get frustrated with complanceny, the ones that are complaing about the current situation are the ones who want to sit on their hands and hope it will all go away, they aint gunna happen! I absolutely applaud the efforts of Chris, Grant our Ausfish mods and Owner are putting into this worthwhile cause.
I will be their on Sunday 10th, I just hope with the exposure that this ralley is getting we get our 500 + Boats, that would be oarsome!!!

more than 1000 views, but how many of that is repeats. I know for sure i check about 6 times a day.

I will be at the rally. Just look for a tabs 5.45

[craftycarp]

I check more than 6 a day. Will be interesting to see how many turn up.

Just a thought, maybe we could have some sort of form letter o hand out to those who wish to voice their disagreement in writing and maybe more objections will end up being submitted. Just something simple for people to read and add their name and signature to and post off to the epa. If there is something like that on the day it may get more attention than just hoping that people will do it off thier own backs.

Bloody good idea smiley. There is already the pre-formatted letter i put together in the News Forum. I am also putting together a quick "postcard" type of thing for not only the rally, but the EPA meetings as well where you can print them out, put your name, address/email and signature on it and hand to a person at the EPA and ask for a response in writing (make sure you get the persons name you gave it to).

Better still - if you are going to these things, this goes for all of you, who wants to be a marshall/organiser at each location and do this for people, take the signed copies and hand them over at the end of the night?

Chris

p.s. still waiting on names of those who will help spread around the posters next week when I get them printed.

[smiley_doobinator]

I'd be more than happy to help spread them out, if you just want to let me know where I can pik them up and where would be the best places to spread them out to. I live on the southside so I could a few bait and tackle shops over my way I guess.

[Chris Ryan]

Thanks Smiely. I'll be in touch re collection soon.

What were you proposing to broadcast on VHF?

my tub lives in creeks and dams, but does have 27meg and I do have a few hand held UHFs.

Sounds like a good excuse for an early morning fish and then the rally :-)

Thanks for all your work on this!!!!

[Chris Ryan]

Here is the DL Flyer for printing at home to hand out at ramps, tackleshops, dealers, mates, mums, dads, schools, shopping centres etc. Please print them out and get handing them around.

A3 Poster size on their way from printers in next 48hrs.

Cheers,
Chris

Any news on what/who will be happening at Newstead ?

[Et the et]

Could a few of us driving around like this for the next 2 weeks get a bit more interest? See pic. It's cheap advertising.
I just hope I can make it along on the day, should be good.
