Housekeeping:
While I’ve got you here a few house-keeping announcements.
If you’re one of the tens of thousands of Canberrans enjoying reading RiotACT perhaps you should consider supporting us? You can just make a donation if you so choose.
Alternatively you could take out a premium subscription, and get the much sought after RiotACT pin, as well as some improved functionality from the site, and the chance to win some pretty good give-aways.
If you have goods or services to advertise, or a brand to build, you can advertise with us.
Failing that Facebookers can just become a fan. We like fans.
