Salivating yet??!

The bells ring and the doors open at midday (but don't dawdle as supplies are traditionally limited). Entry is $2 (more if you're feeling generous as we are donating all door proceeds to the official flood appeal). Like all SpecTAPulars, there will be tasters as well as larger sizes. There will also be food and entertainment.
