DIY Wotz on guide for the weekend of 6 February

There’s another big event in town tomorrow (Sunday) from 11am to 5pm: the annual ACT Contact or is it Contact ACT, where all Canberra’s clubs and associations and little groups get the chance to tell the populace about what they do. Hit the Festival page (see my comment above) for more details.

I took a swing around the lake and through the city this morning and it’s already buzzing.

Bring your membership card or you won’t get in.

Sorry, bit more info: they will let you in if you become a member at the gate on the day. Also, apparently kids under 4 can get in without membership.

Raiders Members’ Day
From 2pm Saturday

Raiders HQ Eade St Bruce (not Canberra Stadium)
There’s parking lot nearby at the south end of Eade St.

Bring your membership card or you won’t get in.
Also remember to slip slop slap, coz they surely won’t be cramming 3000 people indoors and it’ll be a hot one.

I’m so looking forward to this. I’d go for Rockstars & Royalty alone, but there’s going to be so many nice handmade things 🙂

Although Tackanalia sounds like fun too.

Min 19. Max 39.

Will make for superb conditions for the Food and Wine Spectacular (a.k.a. meat on a stick/foreign beer day/night mentioned above) throughout the city centre, 11am-11pm. I’ll be helping out for some of the time at the Scottish Fijian Women’s Friendship Association stall near Akuna Street: champagne with strawberries and chocolate-dipped strawberries — not my thang personally, but the punters can never get enough.
