Nah we weighed it Saturday arvo. The only staff at the club were the girls behind the bar and they werent really sure what the go was in this situation (i.e weighing when theres no comp on).
Ended up ringing roger. He reckoned we could either call in the weighmaster or just grab the scales out and do it ourselves. We just did it ourselves to save hassle. Had a nice puka we were keen to weigh in too. That ended up going 26kg.
