Meeting

The Whitewater NZ AGM is being held to coincide with the weekend's Tongariro Releases.

Come and join us on the river at about 10.00 am. The AGM will be at 211 Tautahanga Rd from about 4pm to 6pm. This will be followed by dinner. From about 8pm we will hold an exec meeting. All paddlers are very welcome to the AGM and/or dinner (please contribute some food) and/or exec meeting.

Join Green MP Kevin Hague for a film screening and a discussion around the campaign to save the Mokihinui River from hydro dam development. Students and the general public both welcome. Kevin will screen 'A Tale of Two Rivers' and excerpts from Craig Potton's 'Rivers' TV series, followed by a discussion on the Mokihinui, the proposed dam, the alternatives for power generation, and what you can do to stop it. Room N230 (Library Building), Waiariki Institute of Technology, Mokoia Drive, Rotorua. More details.

The weekend is held annually in both the North and the South Island. The aim is to encourage female paddlers at all levels and ages. This year we're heading to Taranaki on the weekend of 2-3 October. Meet outside Taranaki Canoe & Kayak at 8.30am on Saturday 2 October. What we run will largely be dependent on flows - but previous years have involved a Grade 2 run on the Saturday with some safety practice (likely to be Meeting of the Waters at this stage), and a harder run on the Sunday for the more advanced paddlers in the group.

Whitewater New Zealand Inc.'s Annual General Meeting will be in Christchurch on Saturday 17 July. Join us from 10am-4pm at Arawa Canoe Club rooms at Kerr's Reach, Christchurch. All are welcome. Elections for the Executive Committee will be held.

Gather with us in Cathedral Square, Christchurch where a cairn of river stones will be constructed as a mark of public concern. There will be brief addresses by the following people: Graham Wardrop and Liz Braggins - Cry me a river, Brian Turner - Poet laureate 2003-5, Lydia Bradey - First woman to climb Mt. Everest without oxygen, Brian Deans - Fifth generation farmer, Robin Judkins - Director of Coast to Coast, Morgan Waru - Student, Peter Beck- Dean of the Cathedral, Ariana Tikao - Vocalist. Organised by Our Water, Our Vote.

"Our Water, Our Vote" - In conjunction with UN World Water Day, there is a lunchtime rally to demand Canterbury's right to manage Canterbury's water: 12:15pm at Victoria Square, Christchurch.
