Question 1

Is there a COVIDSafe plan?

Accepted Answer

We will follow the latest COVIDSafe guidelines issued by the NSW Government for public gatherings and for pubs and community halls.   We are planning on the basis of having most of the sessions at the Jamberoo School of Arts which is a bigger venue than the Jamberoo Pub. We may accommodate smaller group sessions at the Pub, and we will definitely have the Legends Happy Hour in the Beer Garden of the Pub.   The venue will only change if more restrictive COVIDSafe guidelines are introduced, and the venue no longer complies with NSW Government requirements.

Question 2

Do I need to buy tickets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you do. As part of the COVIDSafe requirements, all attendees must be ticketed. We recommend you purchase your tickets beforehand for the Oration, the photo exhibition and the Football Writers' Festival.

Question 3

Are there any extra costs?

Accepted Answer

You will need to pay for your own food and alcohol/soft drinks, other than provided morning/afternoon tea breaks and the complimentary drink on arrival on the Friday evening.

Question 4

What do I do when I get there?

Accepted Answer

Please register your attendance at the registration desk at the Jamberoo School of Arts.

Question 5

Will I get a chance to ask any questions of the guests?

Yes! As well as the breaks, each session will also include the opportunity for questions from the floor - no exceptions.   We only ask that you say who you are, refrain from profanity, and are courteous at all times.
