July 2011

During a survey of the Lake in 2010 it emerged that only about 35% of buoys were labelled. In order to rectify this and enable the MLMA to administer the Lake in a more efficient manner [ eg. tracing owners of breakaway boats ] each license holder will be issued with a small identification buoy already labelled with the mooring number.

Notices were issued recently asking members to pick up their buoys from Patrick Keefe, Mooring Officer, who is responsible for distributing them.

Many members have done so and the buoys are appearing on the Lake. The Board appeal to all members to cooperate and make sure their buoys are collected and attached to their mooring.

For pickup please contact Patrick at mlma@btinternet.com

All unidentified buoys will subsequently be removed from the Lake.

This policy was instituted after years of asking for proper labelling of moorings.
