Which in broad terms means if a vehicle<br>can be driven on it, then it could be defined as a road."<p>Jon explained that all vehicles being driven on a road must have a<br>current warrant of fitness and be licensed to be on the road, and all<br>drivers orriders of vehicles on a road must have a current New Zealand<br>Drivers licence suitable for the vehicle they are in control of.<p>In addition all driver and vehicle related offences that can be<br>committed on a road can be dealt with by police and the consequences<br>vary from the issuing of infringement notices to the impoundment of<br>vehicles and drivers or riders being put before the Court for<br>offending such as drink-driving or dangerous driving.<p>"Local police are going to monitor this issue during the summer<br>months," John warned. "I would strongly urge those riding their trail<br>bikes in these places to take care not to annoy or endanger other<br>members of the public. If children are going to use trail bikes in<br>these areas I recommend it is only done under strict adult<br>supervision."<p>Police will act on any information received regarding rider behaviour<br>and anyone caught committing offences or causing annoyance in public<br>places such as sports grounds or Dunedin City Council reserves, may<br>find themselves receiving trespass or infringement notices.<p>Jon has a reminder for the festive season. "The end of the year brings<br>its own pressures and temptations, set realistic goals for Christmas<br>time and always make suitable arrangements regarding transport if<br>consuming alcohol."<p>*road conditions: 0800 44 44 49<p>*Waikouaiti Police: 03 465 9127<p>*Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111<p>*Emergencies: 111<p>-- <br>--<br>Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū<br>From <a href="http://blueskin.co.nz">blueskin.co.nz</a> and 'Blueskin News' published by Blueskin Media:<br>voluntary/non-profit community publishers in Blueskin Bay (Seacliff,<br>Warrington, Evansdale, Waitati, Doctors Point), Dunedin, New Zealand.<br>All material sent to or published by us is "copyleft" in the public<br>domain and may be freely shared, archived, re-edited and republished.<br>If you want to credit the source it's "<a href="http://blueskin.co.nz">blueskin.co.nz</a>".Warrington Domainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391107099242818445noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656354112651194743.post-92009557492713652852010-10-23T13:19:00.001+13:002010-10-23T13:19:22.260+13:00Warrington Surf Life Saving Club (column)<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8G7c7Xx82JXKUkanHTMQtZk2g5ZpB5Zyit3tv6b9DfZNyBBfN_YwkbGIpliTWz3us9NoHah6IIj4txz21-OkhIibQEyYdPZRMeySudcCKXnHCS3SQRh3OHbUk6b8jHMpLkxvuDP69udDQ/s1600/Eilis+%26+team+getting+gold+medal+1-762261.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8G7c7Xx82JXKUkanHTMQtZk2g5ZpB5Zyit3tv6b9DfZNyBBfN_YwkbGIpliTWz3us9NoHah6IIj4txz21-OkhIibQEyYdPZRMeySudcCKXnHCS3SQRh3OHbUk6b8jHMpLkxvuDP69udDQ/s320/Eilis+%26+team+getting+gold+medal+1-762261.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531029520904706354" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgQjXUziZPoqNMx_o8FpZJqZ9bN5H172AtrVYW0PCxOJTLf5a1bHIt8bCbjRcU1JY8AxJUZjGpUyYk2jqLvHcpdFl-A-oOdNWIPKN2SZx0JIh7aMFQXXCVLuNx8RWMiXQhD8BX6mJmnUX/s1600/Immy+%26+Carla+getting+gold+medal+5-765083.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgQjXUziZPoqNMx_o8FpZJqZ9bN5H172AtrVYW0PCxOJTLf5a1bHIt8bCbjRcU1JY8AxJUZjGpUyYk2jqLvHcpdFl-A-oOdNWIPKN2SZx0JIh7aMFQXXCVLuNx8RWMiXQhD8BX6mJmnUX/s320/Immy+%26+Carla+getting+gold+medal+5-765083.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531029527739628994" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgByOlm1Tt3AAjJb-wVyjJMyfMFiv77_DLha-GK-YdZH591XU6oglDsp7P4Som893xLcaD952PArWoIFZ8yVsYN6_9_GBpJeabt_IkrzaYYVUMv3MHv9FkTBAyILzxBY43p5FZ63yqAaU6L/s1600/Eilis+%26+team+getting+gold+medal+3-766467.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgByOlm1Tt3AAjJb-wVyjJMyfMFiv77_DLha-GK-YdZH591XU6oglDsp7P4Som893xLcaD952PArWoIFZ8yVsYN6_9_GBpJeabt_IkrzaYYVUMv3MHv9FkTBAyILzxBY43p5FZ63yqAaU6L/s320/Eilis+%26+team+getting+gold+medal+3-766467.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531029533032160866" /></a></p>Warrington Surf Life Saving Club<p>by Dawn Hope<p>Photos: Eilis & team getting gold medal<br>Immy & Carla getting gold medal<br>Eilis & team getting gold meda<p>It's that time of year again and we are pleased to advise that<br>Warrington Beach will have life guards patrolling each weekend<br>commencing Sunday 31 October.

Swimming<br>continues throughout the winter months. There are pool champs coming<br>up later in the year and we hope to have some young clubbies taking<br>part.<p>Otago Surf Life Saving has recently held its break up for the year,<br>apparently the entertainment was much enjoyed by young and old alike.<br>A magician provided some wonderful tricks and had many wondering just<br>how that happened or where it went. The prize giving saw one of our<br>members receive the top Life Guard of the Year Award. Congratulations<br>to Pru Casey who has received this award and also brought along a<br>number of new guards to our club.<p>Warrington patrollers gained 100% in all three of their patrol<br>inspections this past season which is a great achievement.<p>Our next club meeting will be held on Monday July 20 at 7.30pm in the<br>club rooms. Don't worry if it's a cold night as the room is always<br>warm with heaters and hot drinks for all.<p>Our club Annual General Meeting will be held on Friday 14 August at<br>7pm.There will be food and drink and it will be for all family<br>members. Please give some thought to what positions you and your<br>family can take on. There WILL be positions up for grabs.

The<br>workshop was attended by 21 people representing 12 groups and<br>organisations involved in Beach Care - from Waikouaiti to Taieri<br>Mouth. The network that developed out of this workshop includes a<br> further 6 groups so far. We share information and ideas and will<br>sometimes work collaboratively on shared interests. Along with a<br>wealth of experience within the network there is a strong focus on<br>pragmatic solutions to spaces shared by wildlife and humans. Thank you<br> to Waikouaiti Coast Community Board for supporting this initiative.<br><br>In September last year we received an award for participating in the<br>Keep Dunedin Beautiful clean up week. Then in March this year, Seaweek<br> had a rubbish collection site at Warrington Beach for the first time.<br>All rubbish collected was weighed and prizes were won by local people.<br>The Warrington Reserve Group collected over 60 kg of rubbish and we<br>won 50 plants from Blueskin Nurseries. Thank you to everyone who<br> collected rubbish with us for these two events, helping to raise<br>awareness and clean up our natural environment.<br><br>On Anzac Day afternoon we were pleased to participate in an Otago Tree<br>Society Planting Day. Our two groups will continue to collaborate so<br> we can support their ongoing planting of the Esplanade embankment.<br>Thanks to all of you who donated your time and energy to this project.<br>A special mention to Community Corrections groups for clearing the<br>site.<br> <br>Please put 26 July at 10:30 am in your diary or on your fridge for our<br>upcoming planting days. We need your help for continued success in<br>recreating a native plant windbreak for the Domain.<br><br>We've had a really good success rate with our plants. This is partly<br> due to careful selection of appropriate hardy plants and to good luck<br>- we've had more rain than usual. We are grateful to Task Force Green<br>Groups for watering and to Community Corrections for weeding the site.<br> <br>Three other sites were chosen by the DCC and planted last winter with<br>plants left over from planting projects in Dunedin. Two of these sites<br>are growing well. They are beside the road to the bay where there is a<br> reasonable amount of soil. The third site on the Domain has been less<br>successful. However, this was to be expected as the site is sandy and<br>exposed to drying winds.<br><br>DCC Parks Officer, Renee Gordon, is keen to support ongoing planting.<br> This year she has provided 100 natives to be planted along the edges<br>of existing vegetation in the wider Domain area. She has ordered<br>individual plant protectors so we won't have to fence off whole areas<br>again.<br> <br>Renee would also like to plant some test sites of pikao (or pingao) at<br>Warrington. Previous plantings years ago were gobbled by rabbits so<br>this time it will be fenced. We are looking into possible suitable<br>sites so if you see a fenced off area in the dunes it may well be a<br> pikao test site. This is a native sand-binding sedge plant. The marram<br>grass that holds our dunes together is an introduced plant.<br><br>We are always interested in your feedback and questions. Anyone<br>interested is welcome to join our group. We also have Warrington<br> Reserve Group Outreach membership for anyone who wishes to receive our<br>minutes.

It was great to welcome back Mrs Pat Ellison, Mr Arnold Jones<br>and Mr Fred Burton who were the instigators of our very first<br>Warrington club room, the A-frame. They took two years to build this<br>in their own time and often using their own money. We have much to be<br>thankful for and they were acknowledged accordingly. Lyne and Gilbert<br>Carlyle officially opened the new extension.<p>Our new club rooms are now available for public use and have already<br>been used by the Waikouaiti Coast Community Board for a public<br>meeting. If you wish to use the club rooms for a function,meeting or<br>whatever phone Hannah Randall to make a booking: 482 1141.<p>Our Monster Garage Sale raised over $1,700. Thanks to everyone who<br>contributed goods and the many bargain hunters who supported this<br>great fundraiser for our Club. Special thanks to Marilyn and Gordon<br>Weare, Brenda Greene, Lyne Carlyle and Blueskin Nurseries.
