Major thanks to Bernie, Paffy, Duber and the others who made up the "ASRA-Lite" crew who got it all together with the timing which let us run head to head. Looking forward to the skatesman very shortly :)

Premium Member Comment by Dave M on October 19, 2013 at 7:23: would be great to have you at the Statesman.

I would expect people to be around from 6.30 -7.00. for dinner then the Raffles and presentations

Some guys are staying there so some may be early but most go for a bowl skate after Stromlo.

Raffle tickets should be available at the Statesman prior to the raffle as well as at the event.

Comment by James on October 18, 2013 at 22:30: Sorry if this has been covered but what are the details for the raffle ect at the statesman? I'm working saturday until 5 so I won't be able to ask on the day!

ASRA Admin Comment by Scotty Taylor on October 18, 2013 at 14:48: It so far seems that none of the crew coming were affected by the fires but I've only heard from/of a few so far and there are several coming from/through the fire affected areas. If anyone is delayed tomorrow with road closures or something like that we can start as late as we need to so let me know on here.
