Greetings!
 
Well as you all know by now we had very exciting news recently with the announcement by the Marina Industries Association of Australia that SPM had been awarded the International 5 Gold Anchor status, the highest achievement possible for a marina.

Ninety five assessment criteria were used to arrive at the rating which assesses infrastructure, facilities, planning and services. We will be "mystery shopped" over the next three years to ensure that we continue our high standards, enabling us to maintain our 5 Gold Anchor status. This international recognition reinforces our marina Vision Statement that states... "Year after year, Soldiers Point Marina and the people who operate the facility will be regarded as the best and most sought after marina and management structure in Australia".
 
Hope to see you all soon and happy boating.
 
Darrell Barnett CMM
Soldiers Point Marina Manager
Ultimate International Rating Award...

The Hon Jodi McKay MP, Minister for the Hunter and Minister for Tourism travelled to Soldiers Point Marina recently to present Manager Darrell Barnett CMM with the 5 Gold Anchor Certificate at a special celebratory luncheon with many other invited dignitaries.

"It's fantastic to see Soldiers Point Marina achieve the highest possible Gold Anchor rating and testifies to the commitment and professionalism of everyone involved in making this happen" said Minister McKay.

Vale Leif Albertson

It was with great sadness that we heard of the recent passing of Leif Albertson a great friend of Soldiers Point Marina. Leif had only been at the Marina at Easter time conducting his popular boat handling clinic for Marina Customers and spending one on one time with them in the afternoon.

Our deepest sympathies are with Leif's family and friends, he will be sadly missed.
