Hi folks, a reminder about doing beach patrol cards or forms. The form is online and can be emailed to me or copied, filled and scanned or posted. I can supply you with cards for posting back to me if you wish. We have 28,000 record cards now so a significant database.
Anyone with records from 2017 or earlier can I get them please? as I am working on the 2017 preliminary beach patrol report.
Contact me on esler@southnet.co.nz
Cheers
