A Launch Drivers Plea,
Please, Please: Do
Use a VHF Radio to call the Launch on Ch.37 (M) - Call sign: “Cruising
Club Launch”
Do not stand on the jetty hoping that the launch will
appear.
Tourists do this and the operator is not going to run the launch
needlessly just to identify who is standing on the jetty.
Club Members: Forgot your handheld? – Use the radio in the Club.
Once on board, keep a listening watch on Channel 37 and try as far as possible to coordinate your trips to and fro with other users in your area.
There is nothing more frustrating, and I speak as launch driver, than getting back to the jetty from the far reaches of the river and receiving a call to collect someone in the area you have just come from, furthermore it is not economical.
LAUNCH CHARGES:
Payments will be made by pre purchased tokens or by the
purchase of a season ticket.
The tokens will be available from: NWCC Club house, the Harbour
Office, the sightseeing boat “Queen Victoria”, The Liverpool Arms and the
Presidents boat “Restawhile” on the inner pontoon.
Before using the launch you must buy your tokens. Tokens will always
be collected on the outward journey from the Jetty. Trips between
pontoons/other moorings will require a token for a round trip.
Visiting crews will be given a lift ashore but will need tokens
to return to their boats.
Please remember No token, No Season ticket, No ride.
Cash will not be accepted.
The cost of tokens is: (Subject to note below)
NWCC MEMBERS - £1.50 per person
per return trip
(Proof of membership will be requested when purchasing tokens)
MEMBERS GUESTS that are visiting a members boat will be charged at member’s rates up to six times a year as per the club articles.
VISITING BOAT CREWS will be charged at member’s rates.
NON - MEMBERS - £5.00 per person per return trip
The cost of a Season ticket is £75.00 per person available to NWCC members only, non transferable and valid from 6th April to 15th October 07.
Season Tickets can be purchased by sending a cheque, for the amount covering the number of tickets required, to the Club with the envelope marked “Ticket”, made payable to North Wales Cruising Club Ltd.
NOTE - The rules on diesel duty may
change part way through the season and we will have to review
the price of the tokens if it affects us. We
will also be reviewing the price of the tokens at the end of
the year.
We are not aiming to make a profit but we have to cover the
cost of running the launch and providing a reliable service.
The operator is entitled to lunch/rest
breaks, so please plan your trips accordingly. If you forget,
as I have done, spend lunch time in the bar!
Coffee and Tea is available as well as other drinks!
The timetable will also be displayed in the club house window and on the
notice boards.
