I have organised an excursion for the Grade 4's to do a tour of Telstra Dome. For those of you who know Docklands, you will also know that Channel 7
Melbourne is part of the Telstra Dome complex, right next door to the AFL.
Anyhoo, I thought I'd be cheeky and ring Ch 7 to see if we could do a studio tour. I emailed, and 10 minutes later, good old John Deeks rings me and says he can take 30 kids for a tour - studio, director's booths, news room - the lot! It's really cool because the tour is on a Friday and the footy commentators (Sandy Roberts, Bruce McAveney) will be there as well!
I haven't told them yet cos I'm still trying to work out how to choose the kids that get to go (there's 90 grade 4's!) but they'll be so excited!
