FREE Online Gluten Summit Now On
November 11-17, 2013. I've just been listening to Dr Rodney Ford who now lives in NZ, a pediatric doctor expert in gluten issues for 30 years. It is really interesting even if you don't have coeliac or gut issues! The interview with Dr Marsh (who is responsible for much of the coeliac classification work ) and all of Day 1 videos are still online so register right away for access. Dr. Tom O’Bryan of theDr.com has gathered 29 of the world’s experts and opinion leaders on the topics of gluten-related disorders, nutrition and healthy living.
cheers Carolyn Rutter VP

Do you like cake? Are you reliable? There are now some perks to being on the committee, you get to come along to our fun meetings for free so please consider signing on as our treasurer in mid 2014 when the wonderful Ingrid Schlipper is on a long awaited trip to Europe. No formal book keeping skills required just simple arithmetic as we don't have a lot of bills (yay). You just need to show up to the majority of astrotas meetings to take care of the entry fees and badges, committee meetings twice a year or so, tot up a few receipts and arrange to pay the monthly rent on time. We will supply all training and even a calculator.
