As you may have heard there is a review underway of the Community Gaming Grants. The government has appointed a group to conduct the review. The Chair of that group, Skip Triplett, is asking for submissions and ideas on how to move forward. I encourage you to write a submission yourself. But if you prefer I am happy to lead a group of CADA Members in writing a group submission. Email me if you are interested in that.
