We will follow the latest COVID-safe guidelines issued by the NSW Government for public gatherings and for pubs and community halls. Depending on how COVID tracks during the winter months in Australia, the venue may be changed if we are unable to meet COVID-safe guidelines.



Do I need to buy tickets?

We recommend you purchase your tickets beforehand for both the photo exhibition and the Football Writers' Festival.



Are there any extra costs?

You will need to pay for your own food and alcohol/soft drinks, other than provided morning/afternoon tea breaks.



What do I do when I get there?

Please register your attendance at the registration desk in the Johnny Warren Football Museum at the back of the pub.



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.
