This is the personal blog of Ian Ker, who was Councillor for the South Ward of the Town of Vincent from 1995 to 2009. I have been a resident of this area since 1985. This blog was originally conceived as a way of letting residents of Vincent know what I have been doing and sharing thoughts on important issues. I can now use it to sound off about things that concern me.

If you want to contact me, my e-mail is still ian_ker@hotmail.com or post a comment on this blog.

Busy Next Sunday

The City of Vincent's second rally to protest the forced amalgamations is at 11am in Angove Street, North Perth (same place as the first rally).

I'm pleased to see the change of slogan to 'Don't Split Vincent', which gives those of us who want Vincent to remain as an independent entity a stake in the rally, too. With the Vincent plebiscite coming up on 19th October, there is real hope starting to emerge.

A number of other local governments are also running plebiscites against forced mergers.

And the East Perth Royals made sure, this afternoon, that it will be an extra-busy day by winning their way through to their first WAFL Grand Final since they were last Premiers in 2002 - when, coincidentally, our opponents were the auld enemy, West Perth, as they will be again on Sunday 22nd September 2013.

In 2002, the game was virtually over by quarter time. Let's hope West Perth put up a bit more fight this time - but that the Royals still win.

Good to see the continuation of the good results from Leederville Oval - 2013 is the 11th of the past 14 Grand Finals to have featured one of the co-tenants of Leederville Oval - I refuse to call it Mxxxxxxk Sxxxxxm.
