There is also a poll question on charlie. If people want a proper head-2-head slalom race at Monbulk, the day after BoarderX-St Kilda, on 17th November, then vote, otherwise the road will be used for a slide session.

Alex, its probably not really necessary for the hill but as Bernie said the first aiders wouldn't do it, they said they used more equipment last year than at any other event they've been to. Cash Converters and Op-shops also sometimes have cheap leathers, still got a couple of months to find some.
Benbro, I have thought about it and it's something we're talking about doing.
