There's a social match against the Pillow Biters on and if you're interested let Yuri know.
We need 8 players on November 11th to represent significant figures in the anniversary of the Whitlam dismissal of 1975. Yuri is playing Bernie Field the senator who Bijelke Peterson replaced when Queenslander Vince Gair died. This gave Malcolm Fraser the numbers to block supply in the senate and cause a double dissolution triggering the tragic sacking of a legitimate government by an unelected head of state's unelected representative.
SHAME!
