I’ve lost track of the number of times “design” has been dropped at UXAustralia this year and I’m loving it. I think we should recognise the good visuals. So here are some award categories; go ahead and drop a comment (or tweet) nominating the presentations that’ve stood out to you. I’ll collate the results. Feel free to make up new categories and nominate in those too. The only prizes are bragging rights in next year’s program.
The Canberra Knights fell 4-3 at home on a last-minute to the Sydney Bears.
Two goals from Sean Scarbrough and another by Vadim Virjassov has dug Canberra out of 3-1 deficit before Valdemar Pelikovsky scored with 35 seconds remaining as the Bears converted four of six power plays to stretch the Knights’ losing streak to a season-high five games.
Sydney took the lead less than two minutes into the game when Brett Nelson-Bond and would have been further in front if not for a series of miracle saves from Canberra netminder Ryan Lowe.
Goals by Roberto Franchini and Pelokovsky on each side of a Scarbrough tally saw the Bears open the third period to a 3-1 lead.
But Virjassov would score 19 seconds into the period when he took he skated down the left wing and lasered a shot that sent Nick Boucher’s water bottle flying off the top of his net.
Seven minutes later, it was all square again when a stiff pass out of defence from Aaron Clayworth to Jordan Gavin was brought under control by Scarbrough at the Sydney blue line.
The Canberra forward rounded the Bears’ defence before scoring from a tight angle.
But the Knights’ ill discipline again saw them undone as they took a late penalty that the Bears would convert for the win.
Canberra ended the game with 34 minutes in penalties to Sydney’s 4.
Canberra’s little red burger van that could – Brodburger – is on the agenda of this year’s National Capital Authority Public Forum at the Australian War Memorial theatre tomorrow night. This may be one of the last chances to voice your opinion on whether Brodburger stays or goes from Bowen Park.
It’s part of agenda item three, which is scheduled to kick off at 6.20pm. Agenda item three has eight community-nominated topics to discuss in 40 minutes; just five minutes each if the timekeeper is fair.
The Brodburger crew put a call out for supporters to join them at the forum:
We would like to encourage you to register to join us at the NCA public forum, as we will be discussing the future of Brodburger at Bowen Park. If you are able to attend registration can be made from the link below:
www.nationalcapital.gov.au/publicforum
Thank you again for your support.
I’m travelling and probably not going to make it back in time to attend. If you go along, I’d really appreciate an update in the comments as to how the discussion goes. Better yet, try and get some audio and/or video.
