A big weekend

It's all happening in Maitland this weekend.

Both the Maitland Pickers (rugby league, black and white kit) and the Maitland Blacks (rugby union, self-explanatory) are in their respective grand finals.

It's the first time in 27 years and the town is festooned with black balloons – it looks like someone locally famous has died.

Anyway, Mick is heading to Newcastle for the Pickers' final on Sunday. The Metropolitan Hotel has organised a mini-bus and I noticed among the names on the list of 24 passengers a Killer, a Crackers and a Mong, so he should have fun...

To top that off, the Gladiators are celebrating their 50th anniversary. There's already been a rise in bike activity on Carrington Street and god knows how long that'll go for. A bloke told us yesterday that other rival bikie members will be attending this strictly invite-only affair. It could get interesting.

Speaking of which, this is in the window of the pawn shop near the Metro.
It's a very strange pawn shop:
