TBSA's inaugural TV appearance!
On Friday 7 September 2007, as the first of a regular feature about clubs in Canberra, the ABC's "Stateline" program included a short segment on the TBSA, with shots of available boats and interviews with some members. The filming was done on the previous Tuesday and, because of work commitments, not everybody was able to turn up. However, we had a reasonable showing, and ABC's Jo Laverty and the camera team worked with TBSA for around three hours to acquire material for the three minute segment.

You can obtain a higher resolution mp4 (".m4v") version that can be played in Apple's iTunes program. The 48Mb file is not included on this web-site but is available from the semi-public area of my Internet backup server. To get a copy:
- If you don't have the password already, e-mail me at ralmond 'at sign' geoss 'dot' com 'dot' au to get it (substituting the obvious punctuation elements in my e-mail address).
- Go to www.ibackup.com and log on with username "geoss_pub" and the password.
- Click on the file Stateline - Clip.m4v and save it on your computer.
- If you have iTunes installed, double click on the file name on your computer to play the movie.
(This Internet folder is an area that I use to exchange large data files with clients so the Stateline file might disappear periodically to make space available. Also, the password might change if client data is sensitive. E-mail me to find out what's going on if the above procedure doesn't work!)
