Halibut 2010 Final Countdown

Its less than 24 hours to Halibut 2010 and everything's looking great.

The rain has cleared and the temperature looks like being quite warm. TD Stef is looking only slightly more crazed than usual. Everyone who's registered and has an up to date email address on the AFDA database has been getting daily updates.

Things you may have forgotten by now but we figure we'll remind you of:

- you'll need to bring your own cup/plate/spoon/etc if you want any of the six meals on offer

- a towel and a garbage bag - the towel for after your swim in the heated pool, the garbage bag in case it rains

- have you got your Chess themed costume for the party yet? If your garbage bag is black and your head is round, you may be able to remodel something pawn-like. Add a cross and you're a bishop. The other option is to raid Grandma's wardrobe and come as Betty Windsor aka the Queen. Or your maroon's number 6 jersey and come as Wally Lewis.

- Of course, you'll be bringing your maroon so that you can properly support Queensland in its State of Origin battle against the 'roaches. If you have a Mike Larson or Notty effigy lying around, bring it along and we'll add the petrol to their traitorous personages.

- and don't be a dolt and forget your cleats - its probably a fair haul home.

This also caught our eye and may be useful for the committed Halibuter.
