BIA members BBQs kick off Sydney’s Northern Beaches was the location for the first of the BIA Boaties BBQs which was held on Tuesday 21 February at Royal Motor Yacht Club, Broken Bay. It was followed soon after with a second member Barbeque at the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Port Hacking on the 28 th February. Guests enjoyed a casual evening of networking with other members and industry personnel within the pleasant surrounds of the club. They were hosted by BIA staff and representatives of the evening’s sponsor, IC Frith & Associates. These BBQs are a new initiative of the BIAs to give members the opportunity to meet and network as well as to find out more about what is occurring in the industry locally. At the Newport event, BIA General Manager, Roy Privett, welcomed guests and gave a brief summary on the range of activities the BIA is currently working on. These include various upcoming events such as the Rosehill Trailer Boat Show, Sydney International Boat Show, important Work Health & Safety Regulations Information Sessions; and Australian Consumer Law information sessions. Roy also talked about the current state of the marine industry and how it compares to new vessel registration statistics. The next scheduled Barbeque will be at the Rosehill Trailer Boat Show on Saturday 17 March. A BBQ is also planned for the Newcastle region on Tuesday 6 November and members in the area are encouraged to attend. The BIA thanks IC Frith & Associates for its ongoing support of the BIA through sponsorship of events such as these. Thanks also go to the two RMYCs for their hospitality on the evening. h NBC 336 Access to workplace advice for Boating Industry Association members Call 13 29 59 to connect to a team of dedicated and experienced workplace professionals who can answer you workplace questions and help you manage your obligations as an employer.

There are now over forty Authorised Providers of the service in NSW, and with the support of Club Marine & Maritime Services, the profile of the Check and these providers is growing well. Club Marine came on board as a promotional partner in 2011 and have devised an incentive scheme for Club policyholders which delivers a $50 rebate on the cost of the Check. In addition, Club Marine now accepts the 50 Point Safety Check as a Condition Report where required on outboard-powered vessels. Thanks to Club Marine for their support! Maritime Services will again include material promoting the 50 Point Safety Check with licence renewals, and a recent review saw the area of coverage grow to include over 150,000 recipients. In their role as the Maritime Safety authority, this is good proactive stuff. New for 2012, the induction for new service providers will go on line this year and make joining the program easier, with a much reduced time & travel burden for all concerned. The icing is being put on the delivery options, but the 40 minute video-induction features stellar performances from a few industry identities. To continue the growth of this voluntary health-check for boats, BIA members should think about becoming authorized providers of the 50 Point Safety Check. Position yourself as part of the owners safety-staff, and help fly the flag for hassle-free boating. If you’d like to know more about the 50 Point Safety Check and becoming a Provider, please contact Alan Barrett at BIA – barrett@bia.org.au or 9438 2077. 14 - March 2012 BIA of NSW LOGBOOK
