Book Launch: The Women’s Footy Almanac 2017
Right ▼
The Footy Almanac has been part of the Australian football landscape, in book form and online, since 2007, and the latest work from John Harms and his Almanac team, The Women’s Footy Almanac 2017 will be launched on Thursday, July 27 at The North Fitzroy Arms in Melbourne.
The cover, designed by John Kingsmill, features Kate Birrell's wonderful painting, Girls; First Season, which captures Sabrina Frederick-Traub, Erin Phillips and our Everygirl ten year old footballer.
The book includes a number of forewords:
- A welcome from co-editor Yvette Wroby
- Words from women’s footy stalwart Leesa Catto
- Gill Dite’s essay based on the cover
- A reflection from comedian Bobby Macumber
- Brisbane student Bonnie Norman’s piece about being an Auskicker and now under age footballer.
- Anne Myers’ wonderful piece on the significance of the moment.
- Kate O’Halloran’s Season Review
The game by game account of the season follows – with two or three pieces on each game from our squad of contributors.
The Grand Final section is exceptional, featuring John Butler, Anne Cahill Lambert, Jamie Simmons, Dave Brown and a piece which marries memoir and match report from Holly Greatwich.
John Harms has also added an epilogue.
The book will be launched by Bobby Macumber at The North Fitzroy Arms on Thursday, July 27. 6 for 6.30pm. All welcome. It is sure to be a launch which carries on in the tradition of Almanac launches. Please rsvp@footyalmanac.com.au.
